During normal use of Android on Samsung Galaxy, Lenovo, Meizu, Sony and others, dozens of different files are saved that are necessary to speed up page viewing.

Over time, the number of elements can reach very large sizes, which begins to slow down the phone, in particular the browser. Therefore, you should clear your browsing history from time to time.

Most browsers, like Yandex or Chrome (the most popular) collect information when opening sites.

Most often this is search history, data, filled out forms, cookies, and also cache, which are specific to individual sites.

In the application settings, you can decide whether your browser will remember specific information, as well as how long it will be stored.

If your browser or Android phone is starting to slow down - the reaction to the review is getting more and more, it's time to clear your browsing history.

Not only in Yandex or Chrome browsers you can delete your browsing history. The same can be done in the Android applications YouTube, VK, calls, Internet downloads, Instagram, Viber, Skype, as well as keyboards.

All modern browsers have a so-called browsing history. This is a special database containing all the sites visited by the user. The browsing log is quite a useful thing. For example, you found some good resource, but forgot its name. In this case, your browsing history will be very useful. However, there is also another side to the coin. Anyone with access to your computer can open your log and see the sites you've visited. Fortunately, there is a way out of this situation - you need to clear your browser history.

Interface

Using the browser interface, you can open a list of visited sites. This process will be different for different search engines. But there is nothing complicated here. Let's find out how to open the history of website visits in the most popular browsers.

Google Chrome

There is a control element in the upper right corner that looks like three dots. If you click on it, a drop-down list will appear. In it, select the “History” item, after which the browsing history will open.

How to delete browsing records from your browser

Deleting entries from the browsing history will make it impossible to determine which sites the user visits. In addition, cleaning will free up a couple of megabytes on your computer. After all, records of visits take up a certain amount of memory on the disk. There are several ways to clear your history.

Manual cleaning

To clear your search history, you first need to go to your browsing history. There you can see a list of pages visited over a specific period of time. To delete all entries from the log, you must click on the “Clear history” item.

If you need to remove any specific entries, then click the ellipsis next to the link that you want to delete. After this, a drop-down list appears. To clear the log of the selected entry, click on the “Delete from history” item.

Cleaner programs

If you use several browsers at once, you need to clear the search history in each one separately. In order not to waste time, you can entrust this simple task to a special utility. There are quite a lot of such programs on the Internet. But we will show you how to delete search history using CCleaner as an example.

Launch the program and go to the “Cleaning” menu. We see in front of us the names of the browsers that are installed on the computer. To delete your browsing history, check the “Log of visited sites” checkbox, and then click on the “Clear” button.

The program will begin searching for files that store information about the pages viewed. This may take a certain amount of time. If there are similar entries on your computer, CCleaner will delete them. Upon completion of cleaning, the utility will provide a summary of the work done. It will show which files were deleted and how much memory was freed during the procedure.

Anonymous mode

While surfing the Internet, the browser automatically records the pages visited by the user in the database. But in some search engines this function can be disabled. To do this you need to switch to anonymous mode. This is done using the key combination Ctrl + Shift + N. In Google Chrome, anonymous mode looks like this:

When using incognito mode, the search engine will not record the pages viewed in the log.

How to view history on a computer

Few people know, but in Windows it is possible to view the event history.

In the drop-down list, select “Management”. In the window that opens, go to “Event Viewer”, and then go to “Windows Log”. It contains information about all updates, installations and other manipulations with the PC. You should not delete entries from the Windows log, as it is extremely difficult to restore them.
