Clear Cache Chrome extension

Clear Cache clears cached files and browsing data with one click, with options to target a single domain, a time range, or just the active tab. It's best for developers and anyone who clears cache often and wants to skip Chrome's settings menu. The catch: custom presets and automated scheduling need the paid Plus upgrade.

What Clear Cache does

It gives you a one-click way to clear cached files and browsing data without digging through Chrome's settings menu. You can target just the active tab, a specific domain, or a chosen time period, and settings sync across devices if you're signed into Chrome. It also supports both dark and light mode for the popup interface.

Clear Cache free vs Plus

The free version covers one-click clearing, domain targeting, active-tab clearing and time-range selection. The Plus subscription adds custom presets, per-data-type domain customization, and automated scheduling, aimed at users who want cache clearing to happen on a routine without manual clicks.

Is Clear Cache safe?

The listing discloses that the extension handles personally identifiable information and financial and payment information categories, likely tied to account and subscription handling for the Plus tier. The developer commits to not selling this data to third parties and not using it outside the extension's core function, and states there's no ad tracking involved.
