## Cache Management for Browser Content Redirection (Linux Clients)

On Linux systems, Browser Content Redirection (BCR) uses Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) processes that store cache data locally on the client device. Cache data can persist across sessions and grow over time.

Administrators can configure cache size limits and stale cache eviction settings in the Horizon Client configuration file to control disk usage.

For more information about cache configuration settings and behavior, see Install and Configure Browser Content Redirection.

Limitations

The client machine’s network must be able to reach the specified URLs in the whitelist.
