I find I was a bit premature with my glowing report. I'm finding sites that cause Iris to disappear part way through navigating them. It seems to be getting worse. Or the thing freezes. Should cookies and the cache be routinely cleansed? My cache contains:- ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.CacheStorage.salt which contains a few chacters ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.hsts-storage/sqlite which says it's text but is just an endless series of ³ ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.WebKitCache.Version 16.Blobs ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.WebKitCache.Version 16.salt Non of that do I understand. -- Chris
