Where's the cache today?

[Up2you2]

On Windows 11 how do I can view the cache in Mozilla Firefox or Chrome, in a way that it is easy to find an image - not about:cache.
Does anybody know how to do this today please, as I have tried so many different options that have all turned out to be out of date?

Viewing cached images and pages directly from Firefox or Chrome is tricky because browsers store cache files in obscure formats and databases not meant to be browsed.

The best solution would be using a third-party tool, namely VideoCacheView by NirSoft:

VideoCacheView

Extract Web site video files from the cache of your Web browser.

It will scan the cache folders of Chrome and Firefox for media files (including images and videos).

1. Chrome DevTools allows viewing cached resources for a specific website, which is useful if you know the site hosting the image
   

• Open Chrome and the website where you saw the image (if accessible).
• Right-click > Inspect to open DevTools.
• Go to the Application tab > Expand Cache Storage or Application Cache.developer.chrome.com
• Click a cache to view its contents (images, scripts, etc.).
• Use the Filter by Path box to search for image extensions.
• Right-click an image resource and select 'Save As' to download it.
