Chrome’s Clear Browsing Data dialog now shows how much data you’ll lose

Chromium team has added ‘Browsing data volume counters’ to ‘Clear browsing data’ dialog, as a result, you can now know what and how much data you’ll lose when you clear Chrome browsing data.

Francois says” You can currently see 4 basic data types in Chrome Canary that are relevant and feasible to count: Browsing history, Cached images and files, Passwords, and Autofill form data.”

You can see this change in latest Chrome Canary build.
