- (2023-07-18) P Schmied: As of 7/18/2023 this extension does not work automatically on a Chromebook running version 114 of browser and ChromeOS. It may work on other OSs and versions, but I would not count on it. The last update was January 20, 2021/ I reluctantly gave it 2 stars because I don't HATE it (Google's ratings s*ck). The intended functionality and user options indicate that it worked under some configurations of OS at one time. If not the developer wouldn't have invested that amount of effort in it. Third party extensions are broken frequently by feature and security changes that Google makes. For this combination of OS and Chrome browser the app doesn't work AUTOMATICALLY. It may have utility for manually clearing data from the browser, but that wasn't what I needed. I can do that with a shortcut to < chrome://settings/clearBrowserData > and one click. I'd revisit this extension to see if there had been any updates or comments from the developer except for the lack of updates for 2-1/2 YEARS. Testing: I used the simplest config, "delete history at browser start". Because the OS IS Chrome, and the "Chrome browser" within it is just a window, I tested three ways: by closing the Chrome window and reopening it, by signing out of the user session and signing back in as the same user, and by shutting down the machine. Each windows opening generated a log entry, but all history remains. I believed the issue might have been that Chrome saves history in the user account settings and re-syncs history after a browser window opens. So it might have replaced missing history from the user profile saved on Google's servers. If so, disabling sync of history under "you and Google". would fix that. So I tried disabling the sync of history. It didn't work. I tried signing into the Chromebook as another user and the back in with my test account. That didn't work. This means that the extension can't delete history from the local copy.

This extension has worked flawlessly until the 19 July update The schedule has been reduced to a maximum of 3 hours where previously you could select 6, 12, 24 hours - I don't wat a maximum of three hours Additionally, sites are not recognising that everything has been cleared. - (2023-07-29, v:3.0.0.1) Tomer Yehezkel: no longer working?
Did something change? Its no longer clearing my download list. - (2023-03-08, v:2.0.0.1) Michael Klusek: feature request
TImer is not the best way. I want an extension that clears cache when it get to 300mb. That is when the videos and site slow down. At least for me. Using Brave (based on Chrome). On Mac Mini M1 - (2022-06-15, v:2.0.0.1) Prakash Patodia: extension gets removed automatically from chrome

Can;t figure out why it doesn't work. I have found one that is easy to use and works well https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clean-cache-cookies-histo/jcjbmjhjgflfbcilklndgmhgampgdmnk. - (2021-05-06, v:2.0.0.1) Steve VanSlyck: Using the extension
HOW DO YOU GET AT THE SETTINGS PAGE? (Yes, sorry, I am yelling but the extension comes with no instruction anywhere!) - (2021-03-10, v:2.0.0.1) Tim Lauzon: Could you describe the various settings in more detail?
Hi, I am looking for a way to automate Chrome's built-in clear "Cached Images & Files" option. Your extension looks perfect, but I'm not sure how to correlate your settings to the Chrome ones. Do you have some documentation somewhere that explains in more detail what your settings do? Thanks! Tim - (2021-01-17, v:2.0.0.1) George Morgan Dorgan: Does not work on other Chromium-based Browsers
Missing Logs: I am not using Chrome, but a different Chromium browser. What the add-on is missing are logs. So I am questioning if it does anything at all. I ran Ccleaner after it and it found lots of data.I tested on Vivaldi portable and Yandex browser, both Chromium-based. So the ask is to make this add-on independent of Chrome, but make it run for all Chromium-based browsers. - (2021-01-02, v:2.0.0.1) J. Anthony: Settings
I cannot access the settings, the icon appeared briefly and then disappeared. Any way to access the settings besides the icon? Thank you. - (2020-10-22, v:2.0.0.1) Michael Barboni: Load Automatic Delete settings via Gsuite Deploy
Is there a way to deploy this extension to all my Gsuite users, with automatic delete configuration already setted up? - (2020-05-28, v:1.0.0.1) BBB 43065: More time intervals needed
Like this extension a lot. Very effective to keep a Chromebook with limited hardware resources running more smoothly. Could you please add more intervals, such as 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 45 min and so forth, in the next update? That would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
