It worked for a long while, but now the time until forget is NEGATIVE, so now its clearing every second for some reason. It's supposed to clear every 5 minutes, otherwise it works well

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.

Forget It requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
