J J 2024-08-11: Not only does it close out the browser, which I don't want, it resizes it smaller, too. No quick clean. Very poorly made extension. It's out!!!!
Reyhan Wahyono 2021-11-19: It'll be good if we can set a shortcut to clear the history.

P Z 2020-10-25: Can't stop it from closing all ur tabs - and why would I want that? And its not one click - its 2 - plus it doesn't stay at 24 hours - it goes back to 5 mins which is useless. If you "forget" -- get it? -- for a few days, what use is clearing just 24 hours? -- this could be a great extension with some tweaking - As is I'm removing it.

Lata Gursahaney 2020-06-23: I find chrome very helpful as it is very fast, and safer, wish many other programs were like.

Eric Martin 2018-10-13: It's two clicks, not one. That's twice as many as advertised.

Holo Dilnick 2018-10-11: Maybe this extension does its thing (although it seems to me that it's merely a one-button duplicate of Chrome's built-in functionality), but it's definitely not like Firefox's "forget about this site" which I was looking for.

Alex Moore 2017-06-07: It does that is promises, but I wish it would delete ALL history, not just over 24 hours

Andrew Jason 2016-11-20: You should be able to set a customized amount of time to forget. Like 2 minutes, or 30 seconds.

Darren Wilson 2016-10-03: Very good extension. I'd like to see more forget duration, ie beginning of time option. Other than that, very clean and simple extension.

Brambilla Fumagalli 2016-05-24: Bug: Using the button on a new tab page (chrome://apps) will just close the browser. Nothing will be deleted. And it won't open another window. P.S. You know the "since beginning of time" option you get while deleting Chrome's history ? It'd be a nice addition here. Sometimes 24H just doesn't cut it.

Radoslav Danev 2015-01-27: With the recent update, I think there's nothing more I'd like to see being added. The extension is really convenient because with only 1 simple click you can erase a lot of things from your browser (cookies, cache, downloads etc.). Now there's even an 'Option' button for those control freaks (like me) that don't want everything to be deleted. This extension is a MUST for everyone!

AJ Batac 2015-01-16: Promising but it needs granular control such as selection of what to remove as settings. Not all developers or users wants to delete cookies but everyone wants to delete history and cache.
