User reviews

Users find Clear Session lightweight and very helpful, especially for web development and QA tasks. It effectively clears session data on the current tab and improves workflow. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as unexpected CPU usage during inactivity, incomplete clearing of session or cookies on some sites, lack of features like auto-refresh or selective cookie removal, limitations in clearing sessions only per tab, and compatibility problems with newer Chrome versions.

Pros

Lightweight and easy to use
Very helpful for web developers, QA, and testing
Effectively clears session data on current tab
Improves speed and reliability of web development tasks
Works as intended without unnecessary features

Cons

Consumes CPU resources even when inactive
Does not clear cookies or session data completely on some websites
Lacks options such as auto-refresh after clearing or selective cookie clearing
Only clears session data for the current tab, not multiple sites simultaneously
Has compatibility issues with latest Chrome versions

Ignore Beau Gunderson and his alt account talking about CPU usage -- if you look at the code yourself (you can Google how to easily do this), you can see that for some weird reason it's checking for some animation change in the extension icon or something like 60 times every second. Break free from the aluminum hats, my brothers & sisters!

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 Session requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Clear Session has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
