All browsers have a button to reload the web page you are looking at and also a system to refresh the page by renewing the cache, without therefore loading files stored by the computer, but downloading the entire content of the page from the internet.
As we know well, in fact, web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox to speed up the internet loading use a cache of temporary files so that, when you visit a certain site the second time, it is not necessary to re-download contents and above all the images that were the first visit was stored in the PC.
