User reviews

would make it 5 star if theres was an additional option to refresh tab upon clicking the extension button, would make this perfect. YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! but theres one more problem with this extension, and its that it doesnt always clear cookies. Its about 90% effective, while 10% of the time it just refreshes and doesnt actually clear cookies. please look into this!

May be better to make extension to perform such actions when the last tab with current domain is closed? Plus add options to whitelist domains/sites and move extension icon to omnibox?
