Close all pages and cleanup the browser
Note that this is Chrome App — not an extension. Chrome apps are only available for Chrome OS and will not work on other browsers. Get the Close & Clean extension if you are Mac, Windows or Linux user.
This app will add “Close & Clean” button to your chrome apps (including the Chrome app launcher). When you click the button it will close all currently opened tabs and windows and will clean Chrome cache, history, stored data etc. (depending on your settings).
You can define what to be cleaned (along with some other settings) on app’s options page (click the “Options” button below for more on how to change app’s settings).
Get it on Chrome Web Store » Options: How To »
Options: How To
Before using the tool, please take a minute to review and adjust the app’s settings.
To change app’s settings:
1) Right-click on the “Close & Clean” icon
On the Options page you can define what to be cleaned on close. You can choose from:
2) Select “Options”
3) You will see the “Settings” page. Just check/uncheck the respective checkbox to control what you want to be closed and cleaned when you click the app’s icon.
By default the button will close all curently opened tabs and windows, but you can set it to preserve pinned tabs and even to merge all pinned tabs in one window. If you check the “Don’t close browser” button, the app will open new tab after closing all currently opened tabs and windows. You can also set the extension to ask for confirmation each time you click the button (just check “Ask for confirmation” checkbox).
4) In addition — you can chose what browser data to be cleared.
By default it will only clean the cache. You can select as many browser data types as you want, but please, be sure you know what you are doing before selecting the respective item. For example, if you check “Clear browsing history” you will delete your browsing history every time you click Close & Clean button; if you clear the cookies you will need to log-in again in your sites when you restart browser; “Clear saved passwords” will delete all the passwords remebered by the browser so far and so on…
5) Don’t forget to select the time-frame for the cleaner.
Finally, if you want, you can restore defaults at any time by clicking “Restore Defaults” button.
That’s all for this app. Don’t forget to try our other plugins 😉
