## Description

Infinite Refresh is a privacy-first browser extension that safely removes cookies, cache, and other stored data — automatically, on your schedule. Keep your trusted sites logged in while everything else gets cleaned up in the background.

How It Works

Most privacy tools are all-or-nothing. They either log you out of everything (like incognito) or leave you exposed. Infinite Refresh bridges that gap:
<ul><li>Set your preferences — choose which storage types to clean and how often (every 30 seconds up to every 2 hours).</li><li>Trust the sites you love — add domains to your allowlist so they are never touched. Your logins, sessions, and preferences stay intact.</li><li>Let it run — automatic cleanup runs silently in the background. No popups, no interruptions.</li></ul>
Key Features

Automatic Cleanup Engine
Removes cookies, cache, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, service worker registrations, and more from every untrusted site. Configurable frequency from 30 seconds to 2 hours.

Trusted Allow list
Add domains to your allow list and they are skipped during every cleanup. Add sites manually, import from your bookmarks, or use the "Add Tab" shortcut. Right-click any page to add it instantly via the context menu.

Cross-Device Sync (optional, with free account)
Create a free account with just your name and email. Your allowlist, cleanup frequency, theme, and telemetry preference sync across all your browsers and devices automatically.

Granular Controls
Choose exactly what gets cleaned: cookies, cache, browsing history (optional permission), bookmarks (optional permission), localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, service workers, and more.

Right-Click Context Menu
Quickly run cleanup or add the current site to your allowlist directly from the right-click menu — no need to open the popup.

Privacy Dashboard
The extension popup shows your cleanup metrics, allowlist, frequency settings, and recent results at a glance.

Import Bookmarks
Bootstrap your allowlist by importing all your bookmarked domains in one click.

Telemetry (fully opt-in)
Anonymous usage data helps us improve the extension. No browsing content is ever collected.
