Wipeout Auto

A Chromium-based browser extension that automatically clears browsing data when you leave a site or restart your browser. Whitelist domains where you want to stay logged in.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

What it does

Wipeout Auto watches for two events and runs cleanups:

  1. Tab cleanup — when the last tab on a domain closes (or the only tab navigates away), the site's data is cleared after a short delay.
  2. Startup full sweep — when the browser starts, every domain that isn't whitelisted gets cleaned, plus a global pass for HTTP cache, downloads, form data, and history.

Whitelisted domains keep their cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB by default — so you stay logged in. Everything else can be configured per-category.

Documentation

  • Installation — how to install from the Chrome Web Store or as an unpacked extension.
  • Whitelist — apex vs. wildcard entries, examples, import/export.
  • Categories — what each storage category is and why you might or might not want to clear it.
  • Settings — auto-cleanup delay, startup full sweep, theme.
  • Activity Log — what gets logged and how to read it.
  • FAQ — common questions and troubleshooting.

Privacy

Wipeout Auto runs entirely locally. No telemetry, no analytics, no network requests. All data (whitelist, settings, logs) lives in chrome.storage.local on your machine. See PRIVACY.md in the repo for the full policy.
