Clear Browsing Data for Chrome

Browsing the Internet results in more and more cached data, history and cookies stored by Google Chrome, as the browser is configured to save site data to load pages faster. While this behavior is designed to enhance your overall experience, it can also clutter the browser and make it run slowly. In other words, a periodical browser data cleanup is mandatory. You can do this via Chrome’s settings, but the Clear Browsing Data extension provides a faster and easier method.

Once installed, Clear Browsing Data for Chrome adds a new button next to the address bar, allowing you to access the extension with a single click. You can pin this icon for quicker access to cleaning the browser’s data.

Clicking on the new button opens a menu that allows you to clear the browser’s data and run periodical maintenance for Google Chrome. A list of all the data types is shown and, while you can choose the data type to delete, it is also possible to clear all the data types with a single click.

With Clear Browsing Data for Chrome, you can clean the browser’s cookies and cached images and files, as well as the cache storage data. The addon allows you to delete the browsing history, autofill form data, the list of downloaded files, and the local storage data.

Additional data types can be added to this list via the addon’s settings. As such, the addon can clear the website file systems, the plugin data, the Web SQL data, saved passwords and the application cache. The time range can also be changed.

Aside from cleaning the browser’s data, this addon also features a few extra settings to customize Google Chrome. For instance, it can change the browser’s theme color or configure closing and reloading tabs.

Clear Browsing Data for Chrome makes it possible to clear the browsing data much faster and easier, directly from the main window of Google Chrome, without having to navigate to the browser’s settings area. All it takes is a click to select the data to remove and a confirmation from your part.
