Not only does it close out the browser, which I don't want, it resizes it smaller, too. No quick clean. Very poorly made extension. It's out!!!!

It'll be good if we can set a shortcut to clear the history.

Can't stop it from closing all ur tabs - and why would I want that? And its not one click - its 2 - plus it doesn't stay at 24 hours - it goes back to 5 mins which is useless. If you "forget" -- get it? -- for a few days, what use is clearing just 24 hours? -- this could be a great extension with some tweaking - As is I'm removing it.
