only think of a few reasons why TrashDesktop may be better. One, it's NOT an extension. Extension conflicts aside, extensions take up sys resources. TrashD runs ONLY when you want it to. Putting something in your system folder for something so easy seems dangerous.

This moves your DT files to the trash forcing a complete re-build. Holding down option simply "repairs" the existing files, which often will not fix problems within. Lastly, it's FREEWARE (look in the description box on the right). AND why would you write one yourself, when its right here to download for free? Hmmm...
