Extension summary

--- Clear Browsing Data Automatically --- No longer worry about Cross-Site Tracking as Forget Me Now will clear all of your browsing data (cookies, IndexedDB, local storage, session storage, service workers, Web SQL) for a site automatically upon closing the last open tab for that specific site. By default automatic clearing of browsing data is enabled for all sites.

● Visit any site (https://mail.google.com) ○ Extension by default will be enabled on all sites ○ Extension icon will be blue to indicate that browsing data clearing is enabled for the active tab's domain (*.google.com) ● Close the last open tab for a site within the same domain (drive.google.com or *.google.com) ● Extension will clear all browsing data, except for cache by default, for all of the sites visited within that same domain (mail.google.com & drive.google.com) ● Extension by default will create a Chrome notification to indicate which sites browsing data are being cleared and allow you to opt to not clear data that time ○ Disable Clearing Site Data Notifications ■ Right-click icon ■ Select 'Global Options' ■ Uncheck 'Notify Before Clearing Data' ■ This is a global option and will be saved in Chrome's sync storage for later recall (set it and forget it even across computers) ○ Enable Clearing Cache on Clearing Data (v1.1+)

I don't know what to think or how to rate this extension. I just installed it and found the video and began to watch it. The man says it can do such and such, " *if it is enabled* " . I see no buttons to enable anything other than to turn it on and allow in incognito. Either Chrome is maliciously manipulating the buttons by making them nonexistent or somebody can't code. I'm more apt to believe the former.
