Known issues

In Google Chrome version 25 you may see the error No such table: keywords_backup - google-chrome/Default/Web Data (bug#1131540). This affects only a small subset of the cleaning for Google Chrome, and most of the cleaning is still be effective. It will be fixed in the next release of BleachBit.
