So far no issues and was impressed with its speed. I use to have a few issues with cleaning in Chrome but that seems to have been fixed.

Personally I try to steer clear of these type of packages, but I can see a lot of ex-Windows users employing it. I have read on some other sites that it has had a lot of issues but I would imagine a lot of them have been cleared up now (like your chrome issue) as many of them were quite old.

No major issues but the reason these types of apps cause users to get into problems is, people dont follow safe practices and end up deleting the wrong items causing problems. Bleachbit is clear about how to use it and they go to great lengths even when you set them up to make sure you dont screw up.
Linux Lite has a similar feature but they indicate whats safe and whats not up front to avoid issues.

Ive used it for quite some time and havent had any issues that disrupted my OS.
