By default, the Click and Clean deletes browsing history, saved cookies, downloads history, cached files, saved forms data, plug-ins’ data along with websites’ App Caches, local storage data, indexedDB, WebSQL and file systems data. It also closes all windows and tabs, and launches a new tab in a new window. But users can customize this behavior and select only few data items to be deleted.

  1. After I upgraded Chrome browser to 94.0.4606.54, this extension no longer displays notifications after it has finished cleaning. Is this a bug? I am on MacOS 11.6.

  2. It would be nice if the program would also clean the excess stuff from the cookie file like:
    Service workers
    Channel ID
    cache storage
    .. and leave the cookies as the only thing in the file. I manage
    those with another app.

  3. I am a Website developer and SEO professional. I use Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and Samsung Internet Browser (SIB) is more popular and widely used than Firefox or Safari, and SIB works on all brands of Android phones.

    I use and love Click and Clean in Chrome and Chromium, but I prefer using Firefox the most, followed by SIB.

    Do you, or will you, have a version of Click and Clean for Firefox and/or SIB?

    Also, do you have a donation page where I can contribute to you financially?
