// WHAT IT CLEARS
Everything browsers hoard.
Pick exactly what you want cleared, or use a preset. All operations use the official Chrome browsingData API — no third-party dependencies.
🗂️
Cache
Images, scripts, stylesheets, and all other cached resources stored by Chrome.
📖
History
Browsing history and download history records. Download files are not deleted.
🍪
Cookies
Site cookies across all domains. Add domains to the whitelist to keep specific logins.
⬇️
Downloads
Download history entries in Chrome's download manager. Actual files are untouched.
📝
Form Data
Autofill suggestions and saved form entries Chrome has accumulated over time.
💾
Local Storage
Site-specific localStorage and IndexedDB data stored in your browser profile.
⚙️
Service Workers
Cached service worker registrations and their associated caches from installed PWAs.
🔑
Passwords
Saved login credentials. Always requires explicit confirmation before clearing.
// PRESETS
One click for common jobs.
Three presets cover the most common cleanup scenarios. Jump to the Presets tab and click — no toggles needed.
FAST
Quick Clean
Clears the cache from the last 24 hours. The lightest option — good for a quick refresh when a page is showing stale content.

Last 24h
THOROUGH
Deep Clean
Clears cache, browsing history, cookies, form data, and download records across all time. Good for a periodic full reset.

// HOW IT WORKS
No companion app. No server.
ClearBrowse runs entirely inside Chrome using the native browsingData API. Nothing runs outside the browser.
01
Click the extension icon
The popup opens. Select a time range and toggle which data types you want to clear — or switch to the Presets tab for one-click options.
02
Click Clear Now
ClearBrowse calls Chrome's native browsingData.remove() API. A progress bar runs, and a toast confirms when it's done.
03
Done — or set it and forget it
Enable auto-clean in Settings and ClearBrowse will run a Quick Clean automatically whenever Chrome closes. The header shows when you last cleaned.

// UPDATES

Changelog

Re-download the zip to get the latest version.

v1.0.2 March 2026 — Latest
FIX
Clean tab required scrolling to reach the Clear Now button. The hidden progress bar was reserving 26px of space via its margin even when invisible. It now collapses to zero height and margin when not in use, and the popup minimum height was corrected to fit all 8 data type rows without scrolling.
v1.0.1 March 2026
FIX
Passwords row misaligned in the Clean tab. Stacking the "Requires confirm" warning above the toggle caused that row to be taller than all others. The warning is now inline with the label and the toggle sits in its normal position.
FIX
Last cleaned timestamp not updating after preset cleans. The header now updates synchronously the moment a clean completes — the storage write happens in the background. Preset cards also show "Cleaning…" while running and "✓ Done" on success so there's clear feedback.
v1.0.0 March 2026 — Initial release
NEW
8 data types — cache, history, cookies, downloads, form data, local storage, service workers, and passwords. All cleared via the native chrome.browsingData API.
NEW
Three presets — Quick Clean (cache, 24h), Deep Clean (everything, all time), and Private Session Wipe (everything including passwords, with confirmation).
NEW
Cookie domain whitelist — domains added to the list are skipped when clearing cookies, keeping logins for trusted sites intact.
NEW
Auto-clean on browser close — runs Quick Clean automatically when the last Chrome window closes.
NEW
5 time ranges — 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 4 weeks, and all time.
