  • CookiesLogs you out of the site and resets its preferences.
  • Local storageData the site keeps between visits.
  • Session storageData the site keeps for this tab only.
  • IndexedDBThe site's local database, often used by web apps.

When it helps

Most of the time a normal reload is enough. These are the times it is not.

  • You shipped a change and still see the old oneLoad the site the way a new visitor would, without opening DevTools.
  • A site is stuck or brokenBad saved data is a common cause. Clear it and start clean.
  • You want a clean sign-outRemove every cookie and saved value the site left behind.

Privacy

Reload does its work inside your browser and nowhere else.

  • No data collectedNo analytics, no tracking, no account.
  • No network requestsThe extension never sends anything anywhere.
  • Runs when you clickIt touches a site only after you press Clear & Reload, and only that site.

Chrome warns that Reload can "read and change your data on all websites". It needs that access to remove cookies for whichever site you are on. Read the privacy policy.
