Cache Cleaner Extension

Cache Cleaner is an extension that helps you clear custom browsing data via the toolbar popup. Currently, there are 14 items available to clear (depending on your browser):

Cache, History, Cookies, Form Data, Downloads, WebSQL, Passwords, Plugin Data, App Cache, File Systems, Indexed DB, Local Storage, Service Workers, and Server Bound Certificates.

To work with this addon, please open toolbar popup UI, mark the desired item, and then click on the - Clean - button at the top left corner. The toolbar icon flashes while the addon is working to clean the selected items. Moreover, when the cleaning process ends, a desktop notification will show you what data has been cleared.

Note: there might be some disabled items in the toolbar popup. This is because your browser does not currently support these items in clear-browsing-data API. In the future, when the API is updated, these items might become available automatically.

Note: to report bugs, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/cache-cleaner.html).
