## Description

**Cache Cleaner** is a handy Chrome extension designed to simplify clearing your browsing data. Accessible directly from the toolbar popup, it lets you quickly select and remove up to 14 different data types such as cache, history, cookies, form data, downloads, passwords, and more.

The extension provides an intuitive interface where you can check off the data items you wish to clear and initiate cleaning with a single click. The toolbar icon visually indicates cleaning activity, and a desktop notification confirms which data has been cleared. Some features depend on your browser's API support and may be disabled accordingly.

Ideal for users seeking a quick and flexible solution to manage their browser's stored data without digging into complex settings, Cache Cleaner enhances privacy and helps maintain optimal browser performance.

## Review summary

Users generally praise Cache Cleaner for working reliably and being not invasive, with clear options to see what will be cleaned. The add-on is praised for saving time by avoiding extra clicks in the settings and for providing an easy, straightforward way to clean the cache, including a useful fallback when CTRL+F5 doesn't work. However, reviewers repeatedly want per-site control, noting that you can't clear cache for a single site or tab. Some expressed frustration about missing feature tweaks, but the core functionality is well-received.

### Pros

- Saves time by avoiding the browser's options menu and provides an easy way to clean the cache.
- Easy to use with a straightforward approach to cleaning the cache, including a useful fallback when CTRL+F5 doesn't work.

### Cons
