Doesn't really do what it claims: "A single-click browser history cleaner. You can wipe your browser history for a configurable period." I was hoping to have my history cleaned *since* a specific time period, and not *for* a time period, say everything older than one month. I shall change my review if this functionallity is added. Nonetheless, it's a good extension and I appreciate your work.
