Latest reviews

Ruth No 2025-10-02: It's good, but every time I click on it to clean something it won't work
Robert Henry Watts 2025-10-01: I am downloading the app and giving it a 5 star.
anna. 2025-07-18: HATE IT!!! KEEPS CLOSING ALL YOUR TABS THAT YOU CAN'T GET BACK!!! GARBAGE.
Chris Porras 2025-06-01: sometimes not working not all i turn on down not working anytimes sometimes work
J J 2025-05-18: It does a good job overall, however, why give this extension access to all of your personal data when you can use Chrome's own "delete browsing date" trash can icon on the top right of your browser.
大畑乃之 2025-04-25: 削除するのを一定期間を超えた物のみにしてくれないと不便なんだよな。この手の拡張機能に多いンだが。まあ、不要なCookieが消せる事が判明したので評価を少し上げて置く。 2023/3/18追記: ブラウザを開いてからそれ程遣ってない筈なのに、履歴削除通知が出て来る事が有るらしい。 2024/5/27追記: Quick Access Menuが特定サイトの左上に表示されるように成った。正直鬱陶し過ぎる。デフォルトでオンにするのは新規でインストールした利用者のみにしてくれ。 2025/2/16追記: 中途半端な状態でChromeのヴァージョン・アップを奨めて来るのを止めて欲しい。固定版しか要らン。 2025/4/26追記: 通知に従ってアップデートしたらタブの自動解放を抑止する機能が効かなく成った。
Laurie 2025-04-21: I really like this app so far, it seems to work just fine on my Chromebook.
Paris Wattson 2025-03-26: WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER! Very easy to use and makes my Chrome on Mac so much warmer to use. Thanks for the simple and easy to use "lette" and thank god its free. I don't know these other users did, but it could not have been easier. Top, essential Cleaner for Chrome - just Click & Clean!
ScienceGuy722 2025-03-24: So, the website asked me to disable my ad blocker. When I did that, the first ad I got said, "Click here to continue". That ad lead to a straight-up tech support scam with "Access to this system is blocked for security reasons." If you don't want to be bombarded with ads, I recommend finding a different extension.
John S 2025-02-17: Best plugin-in I have found for hystory, cache, and cookie management. Extremely helpful and even though the reminders were a bit too much, it was good to force me to keep up to keeping it clean and deleting files and cookies as we don't realize how much we go through in just a few hours... Great work guys! Thank you so much!
Vinoo Samuel 2025-02-17: Complete garbage. Keeps popping up messages about my browser not being updated when it is. Spamware. Go to their website hotcleaner.com and their help chatbot asks for money up front. No wonder Luigi Mangiones are popping up in this world.
Daniel Stein 2025-01-17: This is far the better way to stay secure. It's really great and really handy for little things like when I have to clear my history, and even for the big stuff, like clearing my cache and cookies. Great and easy to use. Thank you!!
Hazem KUNNANA (‫حازم قنانة‬‎) 2025-01-15: Privacy and security concerns, I found all my data on their webpage.
David J 2025-01-03: Works great for me. Excellent way to keep your computer running smoothly. The bext add-on/extension to use to clear all types of files. Does just what I need. Thanks!
Jason Ang 2025-01-01: This extension seems to be very suspicious. Removing
Archive 2024-12-30: this is a gr8 extension, but the only issue i have is with that small sidebar on left side. it’s quite irritating, and i often end up clicking on it by mistake :( i’ll gladly change my rating to 5 stars once it is removed :)
Locutus Of Borg 2024-12-04: I have been looking for a replacement for Close & Clean and ran across your extension after testing about half a dozen. I'm pretty happy with it with one exception. I have it in Vivaldi which is based on Chrome and I keep getting to every so often to update Chrome. Can you address this issue please?
Adam Stewart 2024-11-19: Closing a window wipes out the history associated with it automatically, so you don't have to worry about securely closing anymore, Click&Clean makes it automatic. No more having to worry about saved credit card numbers. Brilliant app, highly recommend it!
Gerard Doyle 2024-11-13: just pushes you to download other plugins, fail
Nick Wells 2024-10-31: Best extension I've found for history, cache, and cookie management. Makes it easy to delete all of previous info, but importantly also separate info you want to save so that it will not get removed with your routine cleanings. Outstanding in all respects. Thank you and I will keep this add-on with Chrome. Great work and great tool!
Igor Grzegorski 2024-10-30: WARNING! Displays false prompts saying "Chrome is not updated" with "Update Chrome" button leading to their site. SUSPICIOSWARE. Don't install.
andrew wiljams 2024-10-11: This app / extension, works PERFECTLY FINE!! Clean, Styled, and Easy to USE!! LOVE IT !!
Im_a_Ukie 2024-08-06: used to be good ..no popups, no nonsense..not anymore..see ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Joseph McCormick 2024-07-29: Was great then all of the sudden Click and clean POP ups just appeared telling me my chrome is out of date and to download this or that. I update my chrome weekly.... I don't know what they did but I can't deal with it anymore.. I deleted it and ANOTHER Pop up asking for donations...??
J J 2024-07-28: I removed this extension because after every few times I hit to clean it takes me to a page with ads on it. At first I thought I accidentally hit the wrong icon, but that's not to case, It's hot cleaner taking me to a page that has ads and other garbage on it with no function at all to hit, so I removed it. I just use Google's built in history and cookie cleaner. They do the same job.
Gábor Klement 2024-07-15: What is the way to add a website manually to the cookie whitelist? It just shows the subdomains of an url, I want to add the whole url :)

Anonymous 2024-06-05: Bueno, recientemente apareció un menú de acceso rápido el cual tiene botones de pánico que lo que hacen es cerrar la pestaña actual y todas aquellas pestañas que pertenezcan al mismo dominio borrando el historial, caché y demás cosas. Es un botón que sirve para ocultar lo que estabas viendo o haciendo para evitar que los demás puedan ver lo que haces. Accidentalmente clicke en ese botón (que por cierto es enorme) y me cerró y borró todas mis pestañas de Youtube, las cuales no eran pocas y como borra el historial y caché es irrecuperable. No sé porque pusieron esto solo en Youtube, pero me quito muchas cosas que tenia pendientes.
