| Strictly cache-related information: | Local file system cache? | Filenames same as/similar to original filenames for easy finding or, at least, do they have the same extension? | Stores binary files w/o modification? | Cache relocatable? |
| Desktop PC browsers: IE7 RC1 | + (all files are stored in the subdirectories of c :\Documents and Settings\ USERNAME Local Settings\ Temporary Internet Files\ Content.IE5\) | +: original filenames are pretty easy to guess / search for (unlike with the two other browsers): they start with the original filename and continue with a possible index; they also have the original extension | + | n/a |
| Opera 9.02 | + (all files are stored in c :\Documents and Settings\ USERNAME \Application Data\ Opera\ Opera\ profile\ cache4\) | 0: they have a machine-generated numeric filename but at least their extension is the original; original filenames stored in dcache4.url | + | n/a |
| Firefox 1.5.0.7 | + (all files are stored in c :\Documents and Settings\ USERNAME \Local Settings\ Application Data\ Mozilla\ Firefox\ Profiles\ SOMENAME. default\ Cache\) | -: the worst: they have a machine-generated filename and the extensions are also dropped (unlike with Opera (Mobile)). That is, it takes the most work to find / identify a given file with Mozilla. | + | n/a |
| PPC browsers: IEM (WM5 AKU2.3) | + | Same as with the desktop IE | + | + ; see the Relocate the PIE / NetFront Cache article (alternate links in the Recommended Links section or above) |
| Opera 8.6 | + | Same as with the desktop Opera | + | +; see this |
| NF 3.3 commercial final | + | Numeric filenames | - (all files have the HTTP response headers in them) | +; see the Relocate the PIE / NetFront Cache article (alternate links in the Recommended Links section) |
| Minimo (09/24/2006 nightly build) | + (exactly as with the desktop Firefox case; the cache will be stored in the \Cache directory of the chosen drive) | Same as with the desktop Mozilla | + | + in the Advanced dialog, in the drive selector drop-down list |
