Reading that description, it's normal to assume that it would clear all the stuff from the current tab, including the previous page on the "current tab",
But NOPE!, it only clears the "current page" NOT the "current tab", so whatever stuff the previous page in the "current tab" stored aren't cleared.
That also mean that if the page you visited automatically redirect its URL to a new URL (ex: change its domain from *.com to *.co.uk or whatever it is) that previous URL and whatever it contain would still intact in your browser. So, you have to clear that manually yourself, which render this addons useless.
some example:
-typing: "espn.com" ->www.espn.com"
clearing the tab it only delete "www.espn.com" NOT "espn.com"
-typing "logitech.com" -> "www.logitech.com" -> "www.logitech.com/en-us"
clearing the tab it only delete "www.logitech.com/en-us", NOT "logitech.com" and "www.logitech.com"
Should change the name from "Forget Tab" to "Forget current visited page". - Rated 1 out of 5by chris p, 8 years agoI'm very curious about the approval process of these addons, what is the point of approving them when in most cases these addons are either not working at all as described, become obsolete, or simply break soon after.
