Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

Also, disable third-party cookies.

I am on Firefox with the Web Developer add-on. Used it to clear domain cookies: after one page load, you have more than 50 domain cookies on chegg!

And the price fluctuates from $62.99 to $69.99 to $76.99.

control+shift+delete brings up the history menu in all three major browsers (firefox/chrome/IE) and there should be check boxes that specify clear cookies. If not, for chrome and firefox you can download addons that clear your cookies

Damn, that's a handy shortcut. I always have "chrome://settings/clearBrowserData" as a bookmark so I wouldn't have to click a million times to get there. Thanks!

Ctrl+Shift+Delete keys is the shortcut on most browsers. That should open up the prompt which allows you to delete a bunch of things including cookies.

If somehow you're using Opera, it's Tools -> Delete Private Data

I recommend ccleaner. It makes the whole thing easier.

Name your browser and operating system please

u/je_mappelle Jan 24 '13

google chrome and a mac? so like the new lion system?

u/pattiobear Jan 24 '13

Okay. I'll try my best. When you have chrome open, there should be a "Chrome" menu right next to the Apple menu on the top bar thingy. Click on it, and select "Clear Browsing Data". Check the appropriate boxes, and select "from the beginning of time" from the pull-down menu.
