CHoTC (Clear History on Tab Close)

A lightweight Chrome extension that keeps your browsing history and form-data suggestions always clean. On each tab or window close, it automatically wipes your URL history and form-autocomplete entries—no more unwanted Omnibox suggestions.

Features

• Clears browsing history (chrome.history.deleteAll())
• Removes form-data suggestions (chrome.browsingData.remove({ since: 0 }, { history: true, formData: true }))
• Toggle on/off from the popup at any time
• Zero console output or clutter—just pure functionality

4. Click Load unpacked and select the extension folder.
5. Pin the CHoTC icon and click it to open the popup.
