What Auto History Wipe does
Auto History Wipe removes browsing history, cached files and cookies automatically, based on settings you choose. You can have it clear data on a set schedule, every time the browser starts, or trigger a wipe manually whenever you want a clean slate.
Auto History Wipe free vs paid
Auto History Wipe is listed as a free extension on the Chrome Web Store, with its scheduling, startup and manual clearing options available without a separate paid tier.
Is Auto History Wipe safe?
To do its job, the extension needs permission to access and delete your browsing history, cache and cookies. This is core to how a history-clearing tool works, but it means you should configure the schedule carefully so it doesn't erase data you wanted to keep.
