Just Delete Me

Just Delete Me is a very interesting and useful Chrome extension that allows users to straightforwardly delete their accounts on a plethora of web services. Not only that, but this minimalist extension also informs you how difficult it is to actually delete your account.

It’s designed to appeal to users who are fed up of searching in order to find the places that allow them to remove personal data from websites or to users who actually take this sort of matter into account before signing up for new services.

Learning to use the extension is by no means a difficult task. By clicking its icon, users will be taken directly to the page that allows them to delete their accounts. While, as expected, the list of supported websites is not infinite, the extension is designed to work with most popular websites out there.

It can be installed from the Chrome Web Store with just a few mouse clicks, and it doesn’t require any sort of user intervention in order to do its job. Once installed, users will be able to see a small “traffic light” icon on their Chrome toolbars.

The difficulty of removing an account on websites is displayed using colors such as green (simple process), yellow (simple, but with some extra steps involved), red (can’t be fully deleted without contacting the customer-service), and black, which means the information cannot be deleted.

Users who like the idea behind the project and want to help the extension get even better, can do by visiting the official website, or directly via the extension’s GitHub repository.

To end with, Just Delete Me may be a small-scale project created from the passion of just one developer, but it is without a doubt one of the most useful Chrome extensions out there. It’s so small and so unobtrusive that there’s really no reason why users shouldn’t keep it next to their collection of other extensions.
