Browser caches don't work in this way. django.core.cache has nothing to do with the browser cache.

Caching is a very broad and rather complicated topic. You'll have to learn about HTTP headers, tags, different browser behaviour, Proxies, etc., etc. And then you'll find out that you don't want to "clear [the] browser cache" in the first place…
