Whether it’s privacy, browser performance or even disk space, it’s always a good idea to erase the browsing data stored on the machine after using Internet. By default, unfortunately, browsers end up not deleting these files, with only easy methods for you to clean it manually.
This problem, in turn, is pretty easy to circumvent if you use Chrome because of its add-on store. Here’s how to make Chrome automatically wipe browsing data every time it starts.
How it works
As mentioned above, Chrome does not have a native function for this task, only managing to remove its cookies at the end of each session. In order to perform this task, it is necessary to make use of an add-on, which will clear the Chrome session every time it is opened.
How to make Chrome automatically delete your browsing data
The use of the extension that will be shown in the tutorial is very simple to do and it is able to erase any navigation data depending on the configuration to be made by you. Look:
- Open Chrome normally and go to the Auto History Wipe add-on link ;
- Click “Use in Chrome”;
- In the message that appears, click on “Add extension”;
- After you have installed the extension, click its icon that has been added next to the browser’s address bar;
- Then click on “Options”;
- Check the options you want or all if you prefer to have more privacy;
- In some of the items, you may need to grant extension permission;
- When you have finished selecting what you want, close the open flap.
Ready! The next time you open Chrome, the process of deleting your browsing data will occur automatically, that is, you can not see it being done. Remember that the extension only affects your browsing data, so your favorites and some other settings do not change at all.
