Fresh Tab by Dobrunia
Hard reload: wipe all site data for current page
Extension Metadata
About this extension
Fresh Tab gives you a one-click hard reload for the current page.
Click the toolbar button and the extension clears all site data for the active tab's origin, then reloads the page with cache bypass. Useful for web development, testing auth flows, clearing stale SPA state, or starting fresh on a website.
What gets cleared:
- Cookies (registrable domain)
- localStorage and sessionStorage
- IndexedDB
- HTTP cache
- Service Workers and Cache Storage
- File System API data
- Form autofill data for the site
How to use:
1. Open any http/https page
2. Click the Fresh Tab icon in the toolbar
3. The page reloads with all site storage wiped
Limitations:
- Works only on http/https pages
- Clears the main tab origin only (not third-party iframe storage)
- Does not reset browser-level site permissions (notifications, camera, etc.)
Privacy: This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.
