One website was quietly holding 16 GB of this disk.
Chrome never said a word.
CacheRabbit measures what every site is really storing in your browser: cookies, caches, whole databases. It ranks the hoarders and clears just the ones you choose. The sites you use are never touched.

The number Chrome buries
Your browser knows exactly which sites are hoarding. It tells you three menus deep, and its only fix nukes everything.
Chrome's settings will show you that a site is sitting on gigabytes, if you go digging. But its one big button is "Delete all data," the reset that signs you out of every site you use. So most people live with the bloat until something breaks and a forum says to clear the cache. CacheRabbit exists so that day goes differently: see everything, understand it, clear surgically.
Real sizes. Measured, not guessed.
One click measures the actual stored footprint of every site (caches, IndexedDB, service workers) using the same channel Chrome's own DevTools reads. Results come sorted largest-first and cross-referenced with when you last visited. "15.6 GB on a site you use daily" and "524 MB from a site you forgot exists" are different problems, and CacheRabbit tells them apart.
The Sweep: hundreds of sites, one click, zero regret
Sites holding cookies with no visit in your history are almost all trackers. Their data arrived while you browsed elsewhere. The Sweep clears them all at once, and it is built so it can't hurt you: it never touches a site you've used this week, never touches an open tab, and leaves out any quiet site that measurement shows holding real data. There's nothing to be signed out of, so there's nothing to lose.
The judgment layer
Ranking sites by size is easy. Knowing which ones are safe to clear is the product.
Trackers, honestly labeled
A curated list of known ad-tech networks, careful heuristics for the rest. The chip says "tracker" when we know and "tracker?" when the evidence points that way, and your own verdicts outrank both. One click filters the table to all of them.
The "why am I signed out again?" alarm
Chrome silently drops cookies when a site nears 180 of them. It's a maddening bug nobody connects to its cause. CacheRabbit flags sites approaching the limit and explains the fix in one sentence.
Heavy-cookie warnings
Cookies travel with every request, so oversized loads slow a site down and can trigger the "request header too large" errors that forums solve with a full reset. CacheRabbit flags the offender instead.
The troubleshooting sweep
When a site misbehaves, the advice is always to clear your cache, but wiping everything signs you out everywhere. This sweep clears every site you haven't used in 7 days and keeps the logins you rely on. Try it before a full reset.
Open-tab protection
Sites open in a tab right now are flagged and excluded from sweeps automatically. You will never clear something out from under a page you're working in.
A receipt, not a scoreboard
One calm line tracks what you've cleared all-time. No badges, no streaks, no "3,000 THREATS DETECTED" theatrics. Facts, one-sentence explanations, one-click fixes. And when nothing is wrong, it says that too.
Pricing, such as it is
Free. All of it.
Every feature on this page, no caps, no account, no trial clock. CacheRabbit is free because a cleanup tool you can only half trust is a cleanup tool you can't trust at all. If it rescued your browser, you can buy the rabbit a carrot.

FAQ
How do I clear the cache for just one site in Chrome?
Without CacheRabbit: Settings, Privacy, Site settings, View permissions and data, find the site, delete. Cookies are a separate trip. With CacheRabbit: find the site in the table, already ranked by size, click Clear, confirm. Cookies, caches, and stored data are gone for that one site and nothing else.
Why is Chrome using so much storage on my computer?
Websites can store data on your machine: caches for speed, databases for offline features. A few of them abuse it. It's normal to find a working browser holding 50 GB or more, with a handful of sites owning most of it. CacheRabbit's measurement shows you exactly who, sorted largest first.
Will clearing sign me out of everything, like Chrome's reset does?
Only for the specific sites you clear. That is the whole point. Per-site clears say exactly what will happen before they do it, and the Sweep is built so it can't touch a site you've used this week or have open in a tab. Chrome's "Delete all data" is the nuke. CacheRabbit is the scalpel.
What's the "debugging this browser" notice during measurement?
Chrome only exposes real storage sizes through its debugging channel, the same one DevTools uses, and it shows a banner whenever anything is attached to it. CacheRabbit attaches, reads the sizes, and detaches. The banner appears for those few seconds and disappears. No page content is ever read or changed.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
Really free. No catch, no locked features, and, unusually for this category, no data collection to monetize either: CacheRabbit makes zero network requests. Its sibling BusyTab has a paid Pro tier; CacheRabbit is the one we give away, and the Ko-fi link is there if you feel like it.
Private by design
No network requests. None. Ever. No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, no servers. Cleanup extensions have a long history of harvesting the very data they promise to clean, so CacheRabbit is built to make that impossible. The privacy policy is short because there is nothing to disclose.
