FAQ

Questions that matter before someone installs a sensitive-trace cleanup extension.

Does CleanXHistory upload browsing data?

No. The intended product position is local processing inside Chrome.

Can users preview what is about to be removed?

Yes. Manual mode opens a review flow that shows matched traces and the cleanup plan before deletion is confirmed.

Does CleanXHistory delete everything like a typical browser cleaner?

No. The product is designed for targeted cleanup. It focuses on traces that match enabled filters, so unrelated history and useful browser data can stay intact.

What kinds of content can filters cover?

Built-in filters provide a starting point for common sensitive categories, including NSFW content. Custom keywords and domains can cover personal topics such as health research, dating, legal questions, finance, recovery resources, gifts, or work searches.

Can users add their own blacklist and keywords?

Yes. CleanXHistory supports built-in keyword and blacklist filters plus user-defined domains and keywords.

What is the safest mode to start with?

Manual review mode is the safest default because it avoids hidden destructive behavior.

Why does the extension need history and browsing data permissions?

Those permissions are required to inspect relevant history entries and remove selected browser traces when the user explicitly enables cleanup.

Who is this site for?

It is for users evaluating the extension and for search-driven educational content around browser privacy, cleanup, and Chrome extension permissions.
