OPTIONS: * Select what to be cleared before reload: -- Empty cache -- Delete cookies -- Clear file systems -- Clear indexed data -- Clear local storage data -- Clear plugin data -- Clear service workers -- Clear webSQL data (These options will affect only the site in the current tab) * Select different icon (useful if you want to make it "fit" your Chrome theme). You can even add your own icon. * You can add the hard refresh button too the context menu too To change the options -- right-click on the extension icon and select "Options". PERMISSIONS: This extension doesn't need any special (heavy) permissions. It can just read your current tab url, clear the cache, storage etc. for the current tab and if you want it can add itself to the context menu
