A small, cross-platform CLI that surgically removes browsing data for a specific domain or keyword from Google Chrome's local databases — URLs, visits, segments, keyword search terms, search keywords, and autofill entries.
⚠️ Deletions are permanent. Always run with-dry-runfirst, and make sure Chrome is fully closed before cleaning.
