Clearing this data on a regular basis can not only improve the performance of your device and your browser, but it can also protect your privacy.

If you don't want a record of the pages that you've visited in Chrome, you can delete all or some of your browsing history. If you delete your browsing history, it takes effect on all devices where you're signed in to Chrome and sync your history to your Google Account. Separately, you can also delete your Google search history from your account.

All web browsers remember a list of the web pages you've visited. You can delete this list at any time, clearing your browsing history and erasing the tracks stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. Each browser has its own separate history, so you'll need to clear the history in multiple places if you've used more than one browser.

If you sync a type of data, like history or passwords, deleting it on your computer will delete it everywhere it's synced. It'll be removed from other devices and your Google Account. On your computer, open Chrome. At the top right, click More Clear browsing data. Choose a time range, like Last hour or All time.
