2022-10-31	Rosario Tortorici	L'ho aggiunta a chrome unicamente per eliminare la cronologia ogni volta che chiudo e riapro il browser, ma non è in grado neanche di fare questo. Pessima.

2019-07-29	Moxi Moz	Simply amazing.
2019-05-29	Michael Kharitonov	Almost all settings are present in Chrome. For cleaning it's better to use external program that doesn't suffer from API limitations.
2019-01-08	A Google user	Wanted to switch from Click&Clean to an open source alternative. Privacy Manager fit the bill. It's comprehensive and has a clear, concise and informative UI.
2018-05-05	trytip x.	if you are signed in to google, the most important information you want gone is not deleted when you clear everything at startup. these cookies and storage still remain https://i.imgur.com/QJDaBpg.jpg
2018-04-11	Dirk Fretz	I'm using Vivaldi, which is a Chrome based browser. Because Google doesn't seem to think it's necessary to clear out a Chrome browser cache, CCleaner is always alerting me to the 500+MB of disk space being wasted. Prior to Vivaldi, I was using Avant Browser with the Chrome engine. One of the things I loved and miss about AB were all the browser auto-cleaning on exit options Google Chrome only seems to implement haphazardly or not at all. Honestly, AB spoiled me, but I had to make the switch to something else because it's not being kept up very well lately. As much as I like Vivaldi and its customization options, it's no AB when it comes to auto-cleaning browser clutter. Before settling on Privacy Manager, I tried 3 other browser cleaners. The other Chrome Web Store extensions for clearing the browser cache required user interaction, i.e. one click cleaning. I thought, "Why do I need to be involved at all? Whatever happened to auto-cleaning by selecting that option?". Well, Chrome doesn't have that option. So, this is the next best thing and it's really good. Based on CCleaner's analysis, it doesn't clear every Vivaldi cache folder, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are GPU and Shader related files that you probably don't want deleted on a regular basis. There are also probably other cache related folders and files that might be native to the way Vivaldi does things, but not entirely Chrome browser folder location format proper. So, I can't fault PM for not finding and deleting them if it would delete those files when using the Google Chrome browser. All I can say is that I'm happy my browser cache is cleaned every time I open Vivaldi so that I'm not wasting disk space. Addendum: After reading through some of the other reviews, my hunch of why all cache items are not deleted was confirmed and explained by Manvel Saroyan's response to another reviewer: Manvel SaroyanAug 11, 2017 Yes, it's true, currently the extension only deletes the web browsing data ignoring the protected web origins set by hosted apps and extensions. I think this should be made clear see -> https://github.com/Manvel/Privacy-Manager/issues/14 .
