Im Currently using Google Chrome browser 64bit on my linux computer.Is using chromes built in cleaning function ideal or should i be using an extension and if so which one please.
I don't like cleaning built in chrome (it's ok, but I can't choose).
I use Clear Cache extension, which allows you what elements erase (in options) and clicking on its button in every moment (to erase).
Actually, I think both are fine. However I prefer the extension as it has some more options (the extension should purge some more temp files of chrome apps/extensions/stored files, which I don't see in default view).
I use History Eraser and I really like it....IMO It does its job well,and I like that fact that I can constantly see the number of sites I have visited since my last clean.
Yes it is ideal because already a part concept of a browser.
You may go to Private Browsing all the time to avoid cleaning the traces always or use extensions that can automatically clear the data as you close the browser always.
