Is Clear History & Web Cache safe?

Low risk

Clear History & Web Cache injects a page button that can trigger deletion of configured browsing data.

When the popup opens, the extension injects a floating cleaner button into the active page. Clicking that button sends a clear request to the background script, which removes the configured history, cache, cookies, or storage for the selected time period. Because the button is placed in the page DOM, page scripts can trigger it after injection.
