worked for me, at least once at the very start with the corresponding tick turned on. Will see if the scheduled cleaning will work as well

This extension is useless and worthless.

3 hours time limit is way too few. To have a functional browser but prevent its cache from bloating, several days or weeks time limit is needed.
