Anybody know what this thing is that's being pushed in CCleaner if you click on the faceless avatar in the upper right corner?

Recently, we saw Acronis True Image try to turn into an anti-malware program; now CCleaner seems to want to be an Edge. I say forget it, mac!

Well, sir, I like it for various functions: it efficiently checks my Sys Restore files, and lets me keep them under control (yes, I know, my images and other backups are more reliable, but I like and use Sys Restore and it almost always works for me when that's the thing I need), it does registry scans that tell me how much garbage has been left behind by things I no longer need or even have, and it's a one-click nightly wiper of unwanted cookies, browser cache files, and old temps. What's not to like?

It just ain't a browser company, any more than Acronis is a Malwarebytes competitor.

That, and it's ability to whitelist the cookies you need to keep (like Ten Forums and Eleven Forum login cookies) is the one thing that justifies my continuing to use it.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

I used to be an anti-cleaner :D

I've have used it as an assist to do targeted registry cleanup for poorly written software uninstall, though I think revo uninstaller is better for that sort of thing.. Do not need any of it's features in normal circumstances. Doesn't take up too much space in reality.

The advantage of using CCleaner is that it cleans all your browsers at once and only has the one whitelist to maintain. It also cleans all the temporary internet files across all your browsers in one go, and those can add up to several GB if not controlled. Thanks, but I'll stick with CCleaner.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

One browser at a time. You'd need to install this plugin individually in every one of your browsers and separately manage each browser's whitelist of cookies to keep. If you use multiple browsers and are prepared to do that work, then this plugin is also available for Firefox, your link was for a chromium browser.

Not true if you sync with Google. Plugin will be installed automatically after sync.
Just export your list from the plugin menu, and import with your other browsers. Even Firefox can use the list exported from Chrome.

Do your own research on CCleaner to see if it is harmful !! Here is the notes that i have kept on it !!
Is it safe to use CCleaner?
No, it isn't. CCleaner is a Windows application, which is useful for system optimization and maintenance and unused/temporary files removal. It becomes harmful due to the malware that is hidden by hackers.Nov 10, 2021
CCleaner Distributed Malware
Prior to this, Piriform discovered that CCleaner was hacked and distributed malware. The 32-bit version was infected with a Trojan that collected information about systems it was installed on. It also had the capability to run code on affected systems.Nov 26, 2019 !!
If it works for you then use it !!
