Add-on summary

I am not using this add-on and have not used and will not use. One user requested a feature to be added to my another add-on, but I declined it because it is a feature that I do not need. However, I made this by mere killing time. But this is something I don't need, so I haven't tested much and for now I have no plans to update or maintain it. So it does not matter if the rating is one star, but please do not send annoying comments or requests. I might remove this then.

Delete all browsing history and cookies of the domain (site) to which the current page belongs. If the current page belongs to a subdomain, it also displays buttons to delete all browsing history and cookies of the parent domain. For example, if the current page is "https://foo.bar.baz.com/index.html", it displays three buttons for deleting "foo.bar.baz.bom", "bar.baz.com" and "baz.com" respectively. You can add shortcut keys. The default shortcut keys are none.

The history removal process seems to end in no time, but it is not. The add-on simply asks the browser to delete the history, and this request is finished immediately, then the browser asynchronously performs the actual deletion. If the number of elements in the history is large, deletion might take several minutes. At this time, the load on the CPU may increase, and the load on the desk access and the memory usage may also increase. So don't be surprised. If you monitor the windows task manager or something, you can see if the deletion is done. It may not be a good idea to delete another history before the actual deletion process is over.

To set shortcut keys, go to about:addons -> ⚙️ Gear icon -> Manage Extension Shortcuts.

I invite you to explore and help me translate this add-on in Crowdin.

Great add-on, works well and because it wasn't obsessed over by the developer, they didn't turn it into a dumpster fire like many other add-ons... but the most annoying comment of all is the developer's whiny description of the project beginning with back-handed bragging they built this simple thing merely to kill time. Yeah because they barely built anything, its not impressive that its minimal as that usually just means "doesn't know how to do any better". Minimal means functional in this case, but it was still minimal, minimal effort, minimal code, etc. The dev needs to calm down with the power trip threat to remove it, hope they realize people can just rip the zip right off of here and re-post the thing if they do...

lightweight, effective. Some delay until all history is deleted
