A one-click Chrome extension
One click.
Everything gone.
Nuke It erases your browsing history, cookies, cache, and site data from the toolbar. No dialog, no time picker, no undo. Arm it once and every click after that is the whole job.

NUKE.
How it works
Arm it once
The first click opens the options page. Nothing is erased until
you read what is in the blast radius and type NUKE.
The badge reads ARM until then.
Every click erases everything
Once armed, every click on the toolbar icon erases everything in the blast radius, across all time, with no confirmation and no undo. It never asks again.
Watch the icon flash
When the erase is done, the yellow trefoil flashes into a red
burst for about a second, then comes back. That flash is the
success signal. The badge only ever says ARM or
ERR.
The blast radius
Everything below is checked by default and erased from the beginning of time. Untick anything you want to keep.
- Browsing history Every page you have visited, and its title.
- Cache Cached pages, scripts, and images.
- Cookies Signs you out of every site.
- Local storage Per-site saved settings and drafts.
- IndexedDB Per-site databases, including offline app data.
- Cache storage Response caches held by service workers.
- Service workers Registered background workers and their state.
- File systems Sandboxed files written by sites.
- Download history The download list. Files already on disk are untouched.
- Autofill form data Saved form entries and search suggestions.
- Saved passwords Off by default. The one category Chrome cannot recover, so it is strictly opt-in.
Private by design
It can only destroy. It can never read.
Nuke It asks Chrome for exactly two things: the
browsingData permission, which grants deletion and
nothing else, and local storage for the armed flag and your blast
radius. It has no access to your history, tabs, cookies, downloads,
or page contents, no content scripts, no remote code, and it makes
no network requests. A test in the build refuses any release that
widens that.
Questions
Will it sign me out of websites?
Yes, if cookies are in the blast radius, which they are by default. Tabs that are already open stay signed in until you reload them; Nuke It does not touch open tabs.
Can I undo an erase?
No. Nuke It erases across all time, with no confirmation and no undo. That is why it ships disarmed and asks you to type NUKE once before the toolbar button does anything.
Does it delete my saved passwords?
Only if you opt in. Saved passwords are the one category Chrome cannot recover, so they are unchecked by default and stay unchecked until you tick them yourself.
Can it see my browsing history?
No. Nuke It holds the browsingData permission, which grants deletion only, plus local storage for its two settings. It requests no access to history, tabs, cookies, downloads, or page content, so it cannot read anything it deletes, and it makes no network requests.
Is there a keyboard shortcut?
Not by default, on purpose: a stray keystroke should not be able to erase everything. If you want one, assign it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts under “Nuke browsing data”.
Can I erase just the last hour, or just one site?
No. Nuke It has no time ranges, no per-site rules, and no scheduling. It is the big red button, and Chrome's own Clear browsing data dialog is there for everything finer.
How do I turn it off?
Open the options page (right-click the toolbar icon and choose Options) and click Disarm. Uninstalling also disarms it. Nothing else does.
Does it work in Edge, Brave, or Arc?
Nuke It is built for Chrome and tested there. Other Chromium browsers can usually install it from the Chrome Web Store, but they are not something we test against.
