Description

This extension allows you to wipe various types of data, including recent application cache, browser cache, cookies, downloads, stored files, forms, history, IndexedDB databases, local storage, certificates, passwords (with caution), plugins' data, and service workers functioning similarly to the built-in Firefox add-on "Forget Button" feature. Additionally, you have the flexibility to designate a proper zone for data wiping, with support for the following zones: - Normal websites - Protected websites (exercise caution!) - Extensions zone (proceed with care!) Definitions: - Extensions zone: Contains data from installed extensions and packaged applications. - Protected websites zone: Includes data from websites installed as hosted applications. For bug reports, please visit: https://github.com/andy-portmen/ecleaner Change log: Version 0.1.4: 1. Introduces the ability to define a custom period for cleaning tasks. Version 0.1.5: 1. Allows users to perform cleaning on browser exit when there are no open browser windows.

Also this extension "only pretends". But it doesn't "really do it", so it's another one of those "Chrome cache clean simulators" which don't remove a single file and therefore are nothing more than "A little GUI with data garbage, surface but no depth effect". Such extensions may satisfy "the cache clean brain" and the "reward center of the brain by a dopamine release", but a "really useful, usable advantage" is absolutely not apparent or given by this! There helps only self-destruction by own deinstallation!

I don't think I shall carry on with this...I mean no disrespect but the "atmosphere" of this utility is a combined opacity and infantilism. It reminds me of the very early years (and I was heavily invested in those early years) of: "it's time to re-index your flotsam files. Continue Y? N" and so we answer Y and Windows replies "Are you Sure? Your flotsam index might be holding your trousers up. Only reindex if you've installed the suspenders update.." and so on,, As one reviewer pointed out, why aren't you showing the data instead of the 'abandon hope all ye who enter here/no turning back...' stuff One gets the feeling that Hal might lock thoseod bay doors at any moment. Your might have a dynamite program, heaven knows Chromebook needs some cleanup tools. The issue is presentation and marketing. Who is your target market? The nervous nellies will run a mile and seasoned users will scratch their heads and wonder what lies beyond the front end....

If the cleaning was faster by pressing the icon only, this would make the Extensions very good 10/10

It does do what it says. But it should also work on a per website basis affecting only the active tab when the user is so inclined to do so. There is no option for that. Luckily there are other extensions that do just that.
