Chrome privacy cleaner | zero tracking | no host permissions
WiseSweep is a privacy-focused Chrome extension from Wise Technologies RYK that removes history, cookies, cache, downloads, local storage, IndexedDB, service workers, form data, and other browsing traces on startup, on demand, or when the last window closes - with a domain whitelist for the logins you want to keep.

Chrome 116+ compliant
Built like a professional privacy product
WiseSweep combines automation, transparent controls, careful permission design, and verified no-network behavior.
Clean on Chrome startup by default, on demand from the toolbar, by keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X), or on last-window-close as an optional trigger.
Choose what to clean with 15 user-facing toggles, including history, cookies, cache, downloads, local storage, IndexedDB, service workers, form data, and passwords.
Preserve cookies for trusted domains like email, banking, dashboards, and client tools while cleaning the rest. Supports wildcard subdomains such as *.example.com.
No host permissions, no content scripts, no web page reading, no remote service integrations. The optional cookies permission is requested only when you use the whitelist.
The extension passed code-level audit checks, unit tests, linting, e2e smoke testing, package inspection, and Chrome runtime probes. Privacy URL hosting is the only remaining external submission task.
First-run onboarding, popup status, options page, dry-run preview, time range selector, light/dark theme, keyboard shortcut, and accessible switch controls.
How it works
Add WiseSweep to Chrome and complete the first-run onboarding wizard.
Use toggles for history, cookies, cache, storage, downloads, passwords, and more. Pick a time range.
Run manually, on startup, by shortcut, or automatically when the last Chrome window closes.
Privacy architecture
WiseSweep was designed to do one job locally: ask Chrome to remove browsing traces. It does not need a backend, analytics dashboard, tracking pixel, license phone-home, or remote API.
View full privacy policyNo analytics, no usage tracking, no error-reporting SDK, no external logging.
Settings live inside Chrome local storage on your device. They are never synced externally.
WiseSweep has no host permissions and cannot read website content or inject scripts into pages.
No fetch, no XHR, no WebSocket, no EventSource, no sendBeacon. Verified zero network calls in production code.
Quality assurance
WiseSweep was reviewed against a multi-round audit checklist. Code-level blockers are resolved; the only remaining item is external privacy URL hosting.
Service worker background, no broad host permissions, no content scripts, no web accessible resources, minimum Chrome version 116.
Data type mapping, time range math, mutex concurrency, whitelist split logic, and build payload construction all covered.
Onboarding flow renders, popup opens, Clean Now triggers successfully, and no runtime errors in a clean Chrome profile.
Default global payload and whitelist origin-filtered payload both execute without throw and without lastError.
No eval, no new Function, no string-based timers, no dynamic injection, no innerHTML with user data, no external resource references.
Manifest at zip root, 29 files, no node_modules, tests, scripts, .git, or hidden files inside the published package.
Chrome Extension
WiseSweep's code-level audit is in a conditional pass state. The extension is not yet listed on the Chrome Web Store. Before submission, the privacy policy page must be published at /wisesweep/privacy so the Chrome Web Store sees HTTP 200 instead of 404.
Once the Chrome Web Store listing is published, you will be able to install WiseSweep directly from the store. No developer mode required. The listing is not live yet.
Load the unpacked build folder in Chrome developer mode to test locally, or upload the packaged zip to the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard for review.

The "Get on Chrome Web Store" link will be activated here once the listing is live. For now, use the developer-mode install below or contact Wise Technologies RYK.

No. WiseSweep does not collect, transmit, or sell personal data. It makes zero network requests.
No. It has no host permissions and no content scripts, so it cannot read or modify page content.
The whitelist preserves cookies for trusted domains, helping you stay logged in while other browsing traces are cleaned.
No. Each extension's chrome.storage data is sandboxed by Chrome and can only be removed by uninstalling that extension. WiseSweep cleans website-origin browsing traces, not other extensions' internal data.
Chrome Web Store requires a public privacy policy URL. The extension is ready, but the site page must return HTTP 200 before submission.
