It clears Cache Storage, Cookies, File Systems, IndexedDB, Local Storage, Plugin Data, Service Workers, and WebSQL. With this extension, you can easily click the icon or use a keyboard shortcut to clear cache for the current tab.

Extension summary

Unlike most cache-cleaning extensions, this one targets the current tab only. This is particularly useful when developing and testing a web app. With this extension, clearing the browser cache no longer affects your experience on other websites.

To use it, click the extension icon or assign a keyboard shortcut.

This is the full list of items that the extension clears. Chromium does not allow clearing anything more than that when targeting a specific tab:

  • Cache Storage
  • Cookies
  • File Systems
  • IndexedDB
  • Local Storage
  • Plugin Data
  • Service Workers
  • WebSQL

In the future, I will add an option to select which of the above categories to clear.
