This extension allows you to use Chrome normally, with full history functionality, and have it wiped clean automatically. You can use Incognito mode, but this has no history at all. After doing so, it will not run again until the next time Chrome is started.Ĭhrome does not have a setting to clear the history and several other browsing data areas upon exit. In order to delete browsing data automatically, without requiring background permission or using extra resources, this extension runs immediately each time Chrome starts. Depending on how much data needs to be cleared, there may be a brief 2 to 3 second pause before Chrome becomes responsive.Įxtensions are not able to run after Chrome exits without requiring the 'background' permission, which keeps them running in the background all the time. If you sign in to Chrome and have your history synced automatically by Google, this extension may not work. It can be configured in the Options page to automatically clear other browsing data as well. It uses no additional resources and performs no other background tasks. Auto History Wipe automatically deletes the browsing history every time Chrome starts. Automatically deletes browsing history and optionally other browsing data.
