Review Summary
Privacy Manager is appreciated for its simplicity, open-source nature, and auto-cleaning features that help users manage browser cache and history efficiently. However, common issues include failure to fully clear browsing data (especially when signed into Google), browser crashes during cookie editing, and problems affecting website functionality. Lack of updates since 2013 raises concerns about compatibility, leading some users to experience diminished effectiveness over time.

- Simple and powerful interface with clear UI.
- Provides auto-cleaning features to clear cache and history on browser startup.
- Open-source alternative compared to other cleaning extensions.
- Helpful memory management and frees up disk space.
Cons

- Does not clear Google account related cookies and storage when signed in.
- Causes crashes or issues when editing cookies or affects website functionality (e.g., login forms, authorization) especially on some browsers like Vivaldi.
- Has not been updated since 2013 leading to compatibility and functionality problems.
- Some users report it does not clear cache effectively or stops working over time.
