User reviews

While several users report that Auto Clear Browsing Data works well and as expected, many others experience significant issues including failure to operate automatically on ChromeOS devices, an insufficient maximum time limit of 3 hours for data clearing, and lack of updates causing compatibility problems. The extension may be effective in some cases, but overall its unreliable automatic functionality and outdated status reduce its usefulness.

Pros

Some users confirm it successfully clears browsing data as described.
Simple to use and effective in some configurations.

Cons

Limited time range for clearing data (maximum 3 hours), which is too short for many users.
Has not been updated for over 2 years, leading to compatibility issues.
Fails to clear browsing history due to sync or local storage issues.
Inconsistent performance; some users report it as useless or not working.

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
