Set-and-forget browser maintenance

Power users and IT-minded folks want schedule cache clear chrome behavior — daily hygiene without manual reminders. The risk is always over-clearing; guardrails matter.

Startup vs. scheduled triggers

  • Startup: fresh baseline each morning; pair with all-sites cache-only (no cookies).
  • Scheduled: nightly 2 AM cleanup for shared kiosks or dev machines.
  • Interval: every N hours for long-running sessions.

Safe defaults

  1. Start with cache + cache storage only.
  2. Whitelist SSO and email domains.
  3. Enable logs and review the first week.
  4. Add cookies to scope only when needed.

Combine with cache size tracking to tune schedule frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is startup cleanup?

A cleanup run when Chrome launches — useful for overnight cache bloat on machines that stay logged in.

Will scheduled clearing log me out?

Only if you include cookies for all sites without a whitelist. Scope cookies narrowly or protect domains via whitelist rules.
