HarshaThota··on Goodbye, EdgeHTML
Try the extension Cookie AutoDelete: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode...

It doesn't clear cache but it will automatically delete any cookies when you close a tab or when you change the domain. That might do what you need, when you use it in conjunction with Containers.

HarshaThota··on Avast acquires rival AVG for $1.3B to create a security software giant
In addition to those, there is also a risk that the 3rd party AV solutions themselves have security holes. I know Google Project Zero has found a few issues that make you question whether you are not opening yourself up to worse attacks by using these products than you would by not using them.

HarshaThota··on Ask HN: I'm stuck on the Microsoft stack – help?
Channel 9 (https://channel9.msdn.com/) and Microsoft Virtual Academy (http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/) have a ton of content that might be useful. Here are a couple good intro courses for C# and EF:

HarshaThota··on Ask HN: Cloud Based Bug Tracker?
Axosoft's Bug Tracker is free to use: http://www.axosoft.com/bug-tracker
HarshaThota··on Don't be a jerk
I have this issue too but more so because I feel like I am just adding to the noise when I don't have anything more substantial to say other than Thank You. "People are already overloaded with the amount of emails they get, do I need to it?" is how I've looked at it but perhaps but that's not the best approach.
HarshaThota··on Unapologetically build your startup technology in C#
There is a fairly active fork of ServiceStack v3 at: https://github.com/NServiceKit/NServiceKit
HarshaThota··on Ask HN: What is a project I can complete in a night?
You could try contributing to some open source projects instead.

http://up-for-grabs.net/ has a list of projects with issues/tasks that are easy for new contributors to pick up.

HarshaThota··on Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects
Saw this in another thread on HN today: https://github.com/github-issues/github-issues. Similar goal as Isaac's repo.
HarshaThota··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
http://up-for-grabs.net/ is trying to make it so that new contributors can easily find projects that they can contribute to.
HarshaThota··on Introducing OneNote for Mac
I think these may just be the limitations of it being a 1.0 release. The Windows version has all of these features.
HarshaThota··on Self-hosted Git Server
For those of you on Windows, Bonobo[1] is a good alternative.

HarshaThota··on Show HN: DotNetFiddle – JsFiddle for .Net
There is also https://compilify.net/ and http://executify.com/. But it's always good to have more options.

There is also SharpDevelop too.

HarshaThota··on Ask HN: How could I automate the process of cleaning up my folder structure?
It doesn't help with renaming per se but Belvedere can help keep things organized.

HarshaThota··on Immersion: a people-centric view of your email life

HarshaThota··on Show HN: Distraction Free Reader/Writer
http://code52.org/DownmarkerWPF/ does this as well. It's both free and open source.
HarshaThota··on Ask HN: what's the app to read the content of a website from an url?
http://soundgecko.com/ perhaps?
HarshaThota··on Hangouts for iOS
https://groupme.com/ may be able to help with your scenario.
HarshaThota··on Ask HN: I'm a C# MVC guy. What web technologies should I learn for freelancing?
What's wrong with C#? It seems like you like the language and are only concerned about the software costs, so Mono would be an obvious option to look into. And the compatibility has improved quite a bit, to the point that there are quite a few projects that support multiple platforms:

HarshaThota··on Omni.js - Easily build realtime Backbone apps
I am having the same issue as well. Firefox 21 on Windows 7.
HarshaThota··on Ask HN: How do you name your servers?
There used to be a thread on Server Fault[1] about this very topic which had some interesting ideas. We liked the idea of naming them after Mountains but ended up naming our servers after characters/places from BSG.

HarshaThota··on Ember.js - Web Applications Done Right
> That said, we don't have View Bindings / Two-way bindings built in, we have to use Backbone Event's listenTo manually. It's worked ok for us so far, especially when you have multiple views on the same model that need to do different things when the model changes.

Knockback.js (http://kmalakoff.github.io/knockback/) may help with that.

HarshaThota··on Show HN: Markpad Editor for Windows Phone 8
Is this is anyway related to MarkPad for Windows?

HarshaThota··on Polychart.js: An Interactive Charting Library
