Close & Clean Extension

This extension will add \"Close & Clean\" button to your browser's toolbar. When you click the button it will close all currently opened tabs and windows and (depending on your settings) will clean Chrome cache, history, cookies or other browsing data.

You can set it to close everything, to keep the current tab open, to close or keep alive pinned tabs. There are some other settings too: you may set it to ask for confirmation when you click the Close & Clean button, or to open fresh new tab when the cleanup is finished (all settings are accessible from the \"Options\" page).

By default it will clear only the cache. To clean other types of browsing data -- go to the \"Options\" page and manually select what to be cleaned on close.

You can set the extension to:
* Empty the cache
* Clear app cache
* Remove cookies
* Delete download history
* Clear file systems
* Delete saved (autofill) form data
* Clear browsing history
* Remove indexed data
* Delete local storage data
* Clear plugin data
* Delete saved passwords
* Clear webSQL data

To access all the options: right-click on the Close & Clean icon and select \"Options\".
