How to Clear Your Browser History

Clearing your browser history removes the record of websites you have visited. We recommend doing this after your session if you are concerned about your privacy.

We can’t cover every browser and device, but here are the basics for the most common ones:

Google Chrome: Open the menu (three dots, top right) → History → Clear browsing data. Select a time range and check Browsing history, then click Clear data.

Mozilla Firefox: Open the menu (three lines, top right) → History → Clear Recent History. Set the time range to Everything, check Browsing & Download History, and click OK.

Microsoft Edge: Open the menu (three dots, top right) → Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Choose what to clear. Select a time range, check Browsing history, and click Clear now.

Safari (Mac): In the menu bar, click History → Clear History. Choose a time range and click Clear History.

Safari (iPhone/iPad): Go to Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data.
