Clear Cache for Current Tab is a specialized Chrome extension designed to clear the browser cache exclusively for the active tab. Unlike typical cache cleaners that clear data across all tabs, this tool targets only the current tab, making it exceptionally useful for developers and testers working on web applications. It ensures that clearing cache doesn’t disrupt your experience on other websites.

The extension clears a comprehensive set of storage types including Cache Storage, Cookies, File Systems, IndexedDB, Local Storage, Plugin Data, Service Workers, and WebSQL. Users can easily activate the cache clearing via the extension icon or assign a keyboard shortcut for faster workflow. Planned updates will include options to selectively clear specific storage categories, enhancing its flexibility further.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Clear Cache for Current Tab does not require any sensitive permissions.
