What History Cleaner does
History Cleaner is a Chrome extension that deletes browsing history older than a number of days you specify. It runs either on a timer (checking at a set interval, defaulting to every 24 hours) or when the browser starts up. Until you configure a behavior, it stays disabled and doesn't touch your history at all.
Setting the retention window
The extension's options let you pick delete old history or delete all history as the behavior, then set the number of days to keep for the old-history mode. You can also choose whether it clears download history and whether it sends a notification each time a cleanup happens, so the behavior stays visible instead of silent.
Is History Cleaner safe?
History Cleaner asks for the history, storage, downloads, alarms, and notifications permissions. These are used to read and clear your browsing and download history, save your chosen settings, schedule the timer, and show optional alerts. It doesn't need broad access to page content to do its job.
