The extension is always in inactive mode while you're not using it. This means that Click&Clean uses zero amount of memory and CPU. You can easily check it in your browser by clicking the "Chrome menu (three vertical dots)" → "More tools" → "Task Manager".
The extension code is highly optimized and minified by using Closure Compiler by Google™. The entire package is less than 700-800 KB in size. By comparison, other extensions usually use a few or tens of megabytes.
Click&Clean settings and notifications state are stored in a local storage - a special file or set of files where applications can store data locally. It may happen that the settings cannot be recorded due to local storage corruption and extension may not work properly.
To solve local storage corruption, we suggest you reinstall the extension. Right-click on the Click&Clean icon and select "Remove from Chrome" and then install the extension again from the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Addons gallery.
