dessant commented 4 years ago

Clearing data on exit would not be possible with the current extension API, but clearing it on startup could be implemented.

Hi @dessant, may we know would this be implemented on Firefox?

I attempted to submit a pull request, but apparently: “This project does not accept pull requests.”, Open source at its finest 😒 However, you can still apply the patch. Just pull the code, apply #56, and build the extension:

$ // Install git, node, and curl before running these commands.
$ git clone https://github.com/dessant/clear-browsing-data.git
$ cd clear-browsing-data
$ curl https://github.com/neuralstring/clear-browsing-data/commit/99308e4e0511bff72b446c074e1e00db18f8d121.patch | git apply -v
$ npm install --save-dev
$ npm run build:prod:chrome
  1. Then go to the browser extension settings
  2. Select developer mode
  3. Select load extension
  4. Select {extension_directory}/dist/{browser}/
