It is easy to use for developing websites, and works when literally clearing my chrome cache did not even work. Thank you! I never have to go incognito again to see my correct website.

- (2022-08-07) Darryl Reubens: Previously this worked flawlessly. However in the last few month it seems to do nothing at all. I even removed the extension and reinstalled it. I will of course put this back to 5 star if this could be acknowledged/addressed. Really appreciated this extension previously. EDIT: My bad, i simply needed to go through the extention options and select exactly what i wanted cleared, with this done, and also setting a keyboard shortcut, well, i wish i could give it 6 stars!

I work in Salesforce and it used to be a hassle to update something in the environment and then having to clear my cache manually to see the changes, with this extension I just click a button and an otherwise laborious process took seconds. I highly recommend it!

There is no way to tell which one or two of these to uncheck to clear the cache but not have it affect all of my saved passwords... because of this I rarely use clear cache, because it clears too much, and messes my computer up.

I use it every day. It would be even more incredible if filters were available on other data types. Thank you! - (2021-12-13, v:1.1.4) Kovacs Takeshi: Support Service Worker Cache Clean

I'm reading 113mb of memory consumption and 3.2 CPU can you try and reduce these? It's the extension that uses more Chrome resources from all the extensions I have installed and if it only cleans cache from time to time and when button is pressed why does it need to be so resourceful? What are these high values coming from, is it from constantly running on background? Thanks - (2021-04-17, v:1.1.2) ridha skhiri: Icon not visible on dark themes

Like many users, I use multiple machines with the same Google account. I have an office PC, a home PC and a laptop for site visits etc. I get a few web sites where the cookies are not saved despite being whitelisted. Over time, I have realised that this is probably due to variations between multiple pc's and browser settings having different whitelists. I have used the import/export routines. However, is there a simpler way to keep the whitelists synced? Possibly a backup to google drive which could be imported? This would allow one machine to act as a master. - (2021-03-18, v:1.1.2) Steve Edwards: Saving options
Hi Benjamin, thank you for this very useful extension. It's simple and friendly. Sometimes when I open Chrome, it opens a tab with Clear Cache Options. I'm a little confused, because I don't expect my choices to change. My preference is to clear everything every time, but all options except one are cleared. I notice there's no "Save Changes" button. Do I need to choose the options every time? Thanks. - (2021-02-22, v:1.1.2) Ron DeJesus: Remove Cookies Globally

When you press the Clear Cache extension/button, does it clear it for everything or does it look at just the current website? I would prefer a way to do the latter (so I can keep my login cookies for Gmail etc but wipe out some random websites I may visit/test at work [I'm a web developer]). If not, then would be cool if had a way to clear cache for ONLY the current website you are on (maybe an option that sets a 'strict' or 'non-strict' option when you click this so it does the exact domain you are on if choose 'strict' option or any subdomain under the current domain if choose 'non-strict' option). For example, I am on members.exacttarget.com and want to clear the cache for *.exacttarget.com. I want to be able to press and button and do this (vs some option where I have to manually type the domain each time like the Cookie option you currently have). Thanks!, Ari - (2020-11-05, v:1.1.2) Randy Henry: Clear entire browser cache, or just page?

But, your Overview doesn't indicate anything based on my query. I am only interested in clearing the current page cache as indicated in my search request. - (2020-10-16, v:1.1.2) Edmundo Amaral: clear cache chrome

I was pointed to Clear Cache by someone on a forum somewhere who said Clear Cache was able to clear whatever settings you want automatically at the end of each Chrome session. If it can't do this, this would be a GREAT addition! If it can do it, I couldn't figure out where to tell it to clear settings when Chrome session ends. Could you help let me know if this is possible, and if so, how to set CC to do this? Thanks! Aloha, philiptdotcom - (2020-01-24, v:1.1.2) Thomas Belknap: Suddenly not working?

I use it for a system that I have called beermenus.com so the screens keep on showing "slides" of our menu, however I had a shortcut on my desktop that everyday updates and prints the Sports events on our Direct TV of the day..(Its one of my top saving time tools) however since I installed your extension It gives me an error when trying to print the schedule, is there a way I can "prevent" the extension do changes to that web page, shortcut? It will really save mylife of tons of everyday work. - (2019-12-19, v:1.1.2) aseras: Firstly your app is great. My problem is it only works properly immediately after installing recently.
Immediately after install, On the setup page all options are there and work properly. Whitelist is present and works. After this the cookies option box is gone. The app no longer clears cookies or has any option at all. The whitelist no longer works. I nuked chrome, deleted the profile folder, reinstalled the plugin and its exactly the same. I haven't forced a downgrade yet but I suspect google went and broke something without telling anyone. As usual. - (2019-10-08, v:1.1.2) andrew dao: I want to buy "Clear Cache"

I have a web-based system that uses javascript, but every month we are uploading updates to the system but this includes changes to javascript that if we do not clear the browser cache the updates have no effect on the end user screen. I would like to know with you if there is a possibility to develop such an extension for a specific site, that every time we upload an update the end user should use it to update the new information. - (2019-08-10, v:1.1.2) Alan Jennings: Spammy behavior
I was using your app in an out of date browser, and it worked fine. I installed it in a new version of Chrome, and now it continuously launches an unwanted tab with settings every time I use the browser. I have checked the boxes in the settings page over and over and it does not remember them. Your Support site link and the "problem" link on this chrome web store page also does not work.

Hello I notice the extension is using Google Analytics to track page views, clearing cache, etc. Can you explain: * Why this extension needs to do this * What information it's sending across and when * Where in your privacy policy you are informing users that the extension does this and if there is a way to turn it off? Also I notice your using jQuery - are there any plans to remove this? It seems unnecessary to use jQuery in a chrome extension. Cheers Gary - (2019-05-06, v:1.1.2) Jakub Wang: It's not clearing .js / .css
