Chrome Cleanup Tool

I was having some 'Aw, snap' errors and some cursory googling led me to Chrome Cleanup Tool and was wondering if anyone here have any experiences with this Chrome Cleanup Tool?

I have.  It does exactly what it says.  Which is more than you probably think it does.  It basically returns Chrome to the just installed state.  Everything.  Including profiles, bookmarks... everything.  I thought it was just to remove bad things.  But it removes EVERYTHING.  Can you tell I was a bit pissed when I used it?

so one can assume that this app is just like if one manually uninstalls and reinstall the browser. thanks wraith808, your reply has saved me a lot of trouble!  :up:
