Popular PC cleaning tool from Piriform has got an update, new version CCleaner 5.66 has been released and available for download with full cleaning support for Brave and Vivaldi browsers, what this means is CCleaner will now treat and clean these browsers as different applications.
Though CCleaner supported cleaning of Vivaldi browser in the previous versions, it doesn’t list Vivaldi under the Applications tab, the tool identifies it as a Chrome browser and cleans its files, which is not the case from CCleaner v5.66 onwards, CCleaner now lists both Brave browser and Vivaldi as different applications and deletes their files separately.
If you now launch CCleaner and visit the Applications tab in Custom Clean, you’ll spot two chromium browsers being listed. Like Google Chrome, Firefox, Chromium Edge, CCleaner cleans these browsers’ internet cache, internet history, cookies, download history, session, saved form, passwords, and compact databases.
