Another product is Window Washer but I think it too requires that you
close the browser to delete what ever you tell it to delete.  Or, you
can also set it to do its deletions periodically but you run the risk of
deleting the cache while someone is in the middle of checking out search
results.  This means if they choose a link on that page they might have
to do a reload when they go back to the results page which doesn't
always reload the data you had.

operating system that was originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor.
