The Click and Clean is a browser extension for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. It enables users to quickly delete their browsing data like currently open windows, browsing history, cookies etc. with just a single click. Install it from Chrome Web Store to use it.
How To Use?
This extension is very easy to use: just click on its icon on the toolbar as shown in the screenshot below, and it would delete your browsing data. Users can also use the keyboard shortcut command Ctrl + Shift + E for the same purpose.
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.
Customize Options
Users can easily change the default behavior of deleting all browsing data items. For customizing extension’s options, follow these steps:
- Right click on extension’s icon on the toolbar
- Select “Options” in the appeared context menu
- This should launch extension’s Options page in a tab.
Now, you can decide which browsing data should be deleted by this extension. Check this video for visual guide to the above process.
Keyboard Shortcut
As mentioned above, you can also use extension’s keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E. Please make sure that this keys combination is not conflicting with other extensions. If the Ctrl + Shift + E combination is not working for you, or you want to change it to some other combination – follow this guide.

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.
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.
Please add auto-cleaning after closing the browser.
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?
