Google Chrome Simplifies History Deletion
When you surf the web, your browser stores a log (history) of where you’ve been and archives (caches) images and other content for re-use later. Some sites also drop files (cookies) on your computer to detect that you’ve visited their site (for a variety of reasons, including delivering online advertisements to you).
It’s a good idea to delete your browsing history regularly. Your history consumes lots of space on your hard drive, it can create security issues and it contains private information that you may wish to protect.
Deleting history is usually a manual process. Good news for those who use Google Chrome as your browser: You’ll soon be able to set the browser to delete history automatically. Here’s an article that explains this.
