ClearCache fixes that in one click. Click the toolbar icon and ClearCache wipes the cache for the site you are on and reloads the page, so you always see the latest version. Other sites are never touched. A small confirmation appears in the top-right of the page so you know it worked, with a quick count showing how many files came back fresh vs. still cached. Four modes, each with a keyboard shortcut and a right-click menu entry: You can also right-click the toolbar icon to reopen the current page in a fresh private window after a deep clear. Privacy: ClearCache collects nothing, sends nothing to any server, and stores nothing. It only clears data — the opposite of tracking. Every line of code is open source on GitHub. Firefox note: due to Firefox API limitations, "cacheStorage" and Service Worker registrations cannot be wiped via browsingData. On sites that use Service Workers for offline caching, use deep-clear mode (Alt+Shift+D) which also removes cookies and storage to fully invalidate SW state. Available in English and Spanish. Free and open source under GPL-3.0. ## Rankings - #33,930 — Overall - #42 — cache - #69 — reload - #239 — learn ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `browsingData` - `tabs` - `contextMenus` - `scripting` - `webRequest` ### Host permissions - `` ## Safety - **Risk impact:** High risk impact - **Risk likelihood:** Moderate risk likelihood ### Analysis details - Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern. - This extension has low user count.
