https://gofile.io/d/PDl7oC (You can watch it without downloading it) Here is a video about Chrome, Chromium, and Brave. I really should test this across multiple user accounts, since I’ve read that this can also expose data from other user accounts. In any case, for the demonstration, I used a string to perform a targeted search. After the browser was closed, the cache should have been cleared, but that didn’t happen.

(Windows users can ask ChatGPT: “How can I create a memory dump from my browser in Windows and search it for strings?” it should be easy too without thirdparty tools )

(On Linux, simply run
sudo gcore $(pidof BROWSERNAME)
strings core.* | grep STRING

Replace BROWSERNAME and STRING)

PS: Please excuse my typos in the video—it's still early in the morning. 🤣
