Clean Start

About

One-click cleanup for history, cache, cookies, and site data. 12 data types, 5 time ranges, two-tap confirm to prevent accidents.

■ Description (max 16,000 chars)
A simple, safe cleanup extension for tidying up Chrome's browsing data.
Click the toolbar icon, choose what to delete and over which time range,
then tap the button twice — that's it.

■ Key features

- One-click bulk cleanup
  Run a full cleanup with the current settings directly from the popup.
  No need to navigate through nested settings screens.

- Pick from 12 data types
  History, Cache, Cache Storage, Cookies, Downloads, File Systems,
  Form Data, IndexedDB, Local Storage, Service Workers, Web SQL, App Cache.
  Combine them freely.

- Time-range selection
  Choose from "Last hour", "Last 24 hours", "Last week", "Last 4 weeks",
  or "Everything" for the deletion window.

- Two-tap confirm to prevent accidents
  The Clear button switches to a "Tap again to confirm" state on the
  first tap. The second tap within 5 seconds runs the actual cleanup.
  Greatly reduces the risk of accidentally wiping sessions.

- Optional auto-clear on Chrome startup
  Enable "Clear automatically when Chrome starts" to wipe data on every
  launch. A warning banner appears in the popup so you don't enable it
  accidentally.

- Auto-reload startup tabs
  When auto-clear runs cache- or cookie-related deletions on startup,
  open web tabs are reloaded in batches so you immediately see fresh
  pages.

- Optional active-tab reload after Clear
  Enable "Reload the active tab after clearing" and the current tab
  refreshes automatically once cleanup completes.

- Local-only, zero network
  All processing happens inside the browser. No network calls, no
  external API integration, no tracking, no telemetry.
