Just like the most extensions, SimpleClear’s button is placed on a right of the address bar. By default, click on a small icon opens a simple menu, where you can choose to clean cache, cookies, downloads or history for the last our, last day, last week or all the time with a single click – no questions asked. Without this extension, this process would require you to go into the browser’s settings and do a lot of unnecessary work.

Extension’s options include an alternative to set custom defaults, which will be launched by a single click on the SimpleClear’s icon. This means, that you can adjust to clean both the last week’s browsing history and last hour’s cache (or any other possible combinations) with a only one click.

Disconnect is the perfect example of an extension that combines the best of both worlds. Disconnect hides behind the button in the address bar, showing how many different services are tracking you on each visited website. However, if you click the button, the stats become visible in a beautifully designed interface. The extension shows what services are tracking you on each website, as well as how much bandwidth and loading time has been saved by blocking these. An option to whitelist any website or some specific tracking services is also easily accessible within a single click.

Besides being amazingly represented, Disconnect also does its job really well – compared to other tracking blockers, it successfully identified most of the tracking services on all websites and saved us from being tracked by these. If you would like to protect your privacy while having access to the beautiful stats and easy controls – Disconnect is definitely the extension to download.
