Clean Reload

A one-click extension that clears Service Worker registrations and the HTTP cache before reloading the page. Handy for web development and debugging, where you need to bypass stale cached files and see the latest state.

■ Features

• One-click deep clean reload Just click the toolbar icon to delete the Service Worker registration and HTTP cache, then reload the page. It removes even the Service Worker registration that a normal hard reload (Ctrl+Shift+R) leaves behind.

• Clean-reload all tabs at once Right-click the toolbar icon and choose "Clean-reload all tabs" to clear the cache and reload every open tab.
• Force all background tabs to sleep Right-click the toolbar icon and choose the background-tab sleep command to release inactive tabs from memory. Tabs remain open and reload automatically when selected. The active tab in each window is excluded.
• Lightweight & minimal permissions No background data collection and no external communication of any kind.
• Who it is for
• Web developers: instantly fix the "my CSS/JS change is not showing because of the cache" problem
• While debugging: always test against the freshest resources
• Everyone: quickly refresh a page that looks broken

■ How to use 1. Install the add-on 2. On the page you want to reload, click the toolbar icon (single tab) 3. To reload every tab at once, right-click the icon and choose "Clean-reload all tabs" 4. To release background tabs from memory, right-click the icon and choose the background-tab sleep command

■ Behavior on Firefox (important) Firefox's browsingData API differs from Chrome's, so this extension behaves as follows on Firefox:

• Service Worker registration: removed per the target tab's hostname (origin-scoped precise removal is not supported by Firefox, so it falls back to hostname scope).
• CacheStorage (DOM Cache API): Firefox's browsingData API cannot delete it, so saved CacheStorage data remains.
• HTTP cache: because Firefox's removeCache API cannot be scoped to a specific origin, clicking clears Firefox's entire HTTP cache (the Chrome edition clears only the current origin).

In all cases the page is reloaded bypassing the HTTP cache afterward. Since the click is an explicit user action, the behavior above is within the intended reset.

■ Privacy Everything runs locally in the browser; there is no communication with external servers and no collection of personal data. No remote code is loaded. See docs/privacy-policy.en.md for details.
