Catsxp
Built on Chromium, CatsXP writes the same kinds of browser caches as other Chromium-based browsers: HTTP disk cache entries, GPUCache data, Code Cache bytecode for JavaScript and WASM, Service Worker cache storage, media cache files, and SQLite-backed site storage metadata. These files exist to speed up page loads, video playback, and script execution, but they can also become stale after browser, site, or graphics driver changes; Kudu removes only the disposable cache and temporary browsing data in CatsXP’s profile, not your bookmarks, saved passwords, accounts, or browser settings.
Why clean Catsxp?
- Corrupted HTTP disk cache entries can make specific sites reload old CSS or JavaScript, so pages look broken, buttons stop responding, or login screens loop until fresh files are downloaded
- Stale GPUCache data after a graphics driver update can invalidate Chromium shader and rendering caches, showing up as black pages, flickering tabs, or choppy scrolling until the cache is rebuilt
- Outdated Code Cache bytecode after a CatsXP upgrade or site update can cause a noticeably slow first launch of web apps, delayed tab rendering, or one-off script errors that disappear after cleaning
- Bloated Service Worker and Cache Storage data can keep offline copies of sites out of sync, so users see old content, missing notifications, or web apps that refuse to refresh properly
- Large media cache files from streaming and autoplay-heavy sites can consume gigabytes in the profile folder, with the obvious symptom being CatsXP using far more disk space than expected
- SQLite databases used for site storage metadata can accumulate free pages and fragmentation over time; VACUUM rewrites the database file without deleting rows, which helps recover space when the profile keeps growing after lots of browsing
