Hello developer I trust you're doing well! Currently, I'm exploring opportunities to grow my business by investing in Chrome extensions. Your extension has caught my attention, and I am genuinely interested in discussing the possibility of acquiring it. We can discuss the price and complete the transaction securely through a reputable escrow services (www.escrow.com or cryptoexchange.com). Google supports the smooth transfer of extension ownership from one account to another, ensuring your gmail account remains unaffected.

Really not doing anything in my case.. I still need to do hold down the shift key and click refresh button in browser to actually clear all the browser cache.. Just using this addon doens't fully clear my browser cache.

Everything's great except the sonic notification. It's identical to my eMail notification sound. It's really annoying. You need a pref to choose the sound, plus an option to silence it entirely.
