There are apps and extensions that can remove history, cookies and other browser data with a single click, but the right choice depends on your operating system and how wide you want the cleaning to be (single browser vs all browsers). Below are the practical options, trade-offs, and recommendations.

Quick summary (pick one)

• Cross-browser, open-source (Windows & Linux): BleachBit — cleans history, cookies, cache for many browsers in one place. (bleachbit.org)
• Windows, polished GUI (free + paid tiers): CCleaner — can clean multiple installed browsers; has browser-cleanup controls but has had mixed reputation so check installer options. (support.ccleaner.com)
• Per-browser single-click (Chrome / Chromium browsers): browser extensions like Click&Clean or Auto History Wipe let you clear that browser’s data with one click (or automatically). They cannot clear other browsers on the machine. (Chrome Web Store)

Important details & tradeoffs

• Extensions only affect the browser they’re installed into. So Click&Clean or Auto History Wipe are great if you only need Chrome (or Edge/Chromium) cleaned quickly, but they won’t touch Firefox, Safari, or other standalone browsers. (Chrome Web Store)
• System cleaners (BleachBit / CCleaner) can target multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, etc.) from one interface — that’s the closest to “one button clears everything.” BleachBit is open-source and free; CCleaner is feature rich but has had user concerns in the past, so read installer prompts carefully. (bleachbit.org)
• Some cleanup requires the browsers to be closed for a full wipe (files locked while browser runs). Expect popups or instructions to close browsers for a complete clean.
• Consequences: clearing cookies signs you out of websites and may remove saved site preferences. Back up anything important (saved passwords — use a password manager instead of cookie retention).
• macOS / Safari: Safari is more locked down; third-party cleaners have limited access compared with Windows. Commercial macOS cleaners (e.g., CleanMyMac) provide one-click flows but are paid and proprietary. (If you use Safari I can list macOS options.)
• Automation: If you want truly automatic cleaning, many extensions offer “clear on close” or schedules; system tools sometimes support scheduled tasks but that’s more involved.

Recommendations (which to try)

1. If you want a free, safe, one-button cross-browser cleaner (Windows/Linux): try BleachBit first. It’s open-source and targets many apps and browsers. (bleachbit.org)
2. If you want a more polished Windows tool and don’t mind reading installer options: CCleaner (use portable version if you prefer no installer). Be cautious with bundled offers. (support.ccleaner.com)
3. If you only need Chrome/Edge cleaned quickly: install Click&Clean or Auto History Wipe extension for single-click clearing. (Chrome Web Store)
