+
+<p>Enables extensions to clear the data that is accumulated while the user is browsing.</p>
+
+<p>In the <code>browsingData</code> API, browsing data is divided into types:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>browser cache</li>
+ <li>cookies</li>
+ <li>downloads</li>
+ <li>history</li>
+ <li>local storage</li>
+ <li>plugin data</li>
+ <li>saved form data</li>
+ <li>saved passwords</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You can use the {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.remove()")}} function to remove any combination of these types. There are also dedicated functions to remove each particular type of data, such as {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.removePasswords()", "removePasswords()")}}, {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.removeHistory()", "removeHistory()")}} and so on.</p>
+
+<p>All the <code>browsingData.remove[X]()</code> functions take a {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.RemovalOptions")}} object, which you can use to control two further aspects of data removal:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>how far back in time to remove data</li>
+ <li>whether to remove data only from normal web pages, or also from hosted web apps and add-ons. Note that this option is not yet supported in Firefox.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Finally, this API gives you a {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.settings()")}} function that gives you the current value of the settings for the browser's built-in "Clear History" feature.</p>
+
+<p>To use this API you must have the "browsingData" <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/permissions#API_permissions">API permission</a>.</p>
