Step-by-step instructions · Browser Data Cleaner
Clear history, cache, cookies, site data, downloads list, and autofill data.
How to use
- Open Browser Data Cleaner from the browser toolbar.
- Choose the time period and select the data categories to remove.
- Read the warnings shown for cache, cookies, downloads, and irreversible deletion.
- Open the review screen and confirm the cleanup only when the summary is correct.
- Wait for the browser API to finish before closing the popup.
Key features
- Time range: Choose the last 15 minutes, hour, day, week, four weeks, or all time.
- Browsing history: Remove visited-page history and related address bar suggestions.
- Cached files: Clear temporary cached images and files when pages need a fresh reload.
- Cookies: Remove cookies after a visible warning that websites may sign the user out.
- Site data: Clear website local storage, IndexedDB data, and service worker registrations.
- Download history: Remove download-list records without deleting files saved on the device.
- Autofill data: Clear saved autofill form entries without presenting password deletion as supported.
- Recommended: Restore the conservative default selection of history and cached files.
- Clear browsing data?: Review the exact period and categories before every irreversible cleanup.
- Cleanup happens locally. No browsing data is uploaded: Run entirely in the local browser profile without accounts or data uploads.
- Choose cache cleaning without selecting history or cookies. Empty selections are remembered, and Escape closes the confirmation screen. Data is deleted only after explicit confirmation.
Privacy
The extension uses only the browsingData permission after a direct user confirmation. It has no host permissions, analytics, remote code, accounts, or external API calls. Cleanup runs locally and browsing data is never uploaded.
Important notes
Deleting browsing data cannot be undone. Cookies can sign users out of websites. Download-history cleanup removes only the browser list, not downloaded files. Browser cache may be cleared in full even when a shorter time period is selected. Saved passwords are not included because current Chrome versions no longer support password deletion through this extension API.
