Easy way to clear or wipe browsing history from chrome and edge?
Hi everyone, I need to completely clear my browsing history from both Google Chrome and Edge, but I'm not super tech-savvy with the settings. I'm hoping for the simplest, most straightforward method ...

Here's a simple, step-by-step guide to quickly clear browsing history in both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Chrome:
- Open Chrome.
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner, then go to Settings.
- Scroll down and select Privacy and security.
- Click Cookies and other site data.
- Turn on Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows.
Note: Chrome doesn’t automatically clear browsing history on close, but clearing cookies and site data helps protect privacy.
Edge:
- Open Edge.
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner, then go to Settings.
- Navigate to Privacy, search, and services.
- Under Clear browsing data, click Choose what to clear every time you close the browser.
- Toggle on Browsing history (and any other data you want to clear automatically).
