## Description

**Forget Tab** is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to help you clear the browsing data of the current active tab with just one click. Unlike broader history cleaners, Forget Tab focuses solely on the active tab, clearing cookies, download history, local storage, session storage, and browsing history associated with it.

The extension features an easy-to-use toolbar icon that changes color to indicate whether the current tab has uncleared data (blue) or if data has been successfully cleared (green). This ensures users are immediately aware of the tab's privacy status. Notifications confirm the specific items cleared. It's a perfect tool for anyone looking to maintain privacy on specific tabs without wiping all their browsing data.

For support or feature requests, you can contact the developer via email, and bug reports can be submitted through the extension's homepage.
