Are you worried about the privacy of your data when browsing? So you can delete the trace in the most used browsers

The privacy of our data and the security we find when browsing the net is something that worries us more every day. In fact, it is one of the reasons why options to browse incognito have emerged in the most used browsers (in the case of Google Chrome or Firefox) so that we do not leave a trace in the browsing history

"

Incognito tabs or options like Firefox Focus on Android, a special app in which incognito mode is always enabled to browse anonymously, are a good example of this.But what happens if we navigate normally? How can we delete our browsing data if we don&39;t want it to be accessible to anyone?"

That's what we're going to look at here. A tutorial in which we explain how to delete browsing data (search history, cookies, passwords...) in the three most used browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge And we differentiate between the three, because although the basic way of proceeding is the same, each of them has different menus and access methods.

Google Chrome

"

First of all we enter Chrome and press the Menu hamburger (the three dots) at the top right. Once inside we see an option, History, which we will press to access the data that interests us. we can also access it by pressing Control + H"

"

A window then opens with the most recent browsing data and on the left, in gray, the option Clear browsing data in the one we must press."

When _clicking_, a new window opens in which informs us of the different options to delete (browsing history, history of downloads, passwords...) being able to mark the desired one and selecting the period of time that we want to eliminate.

Mozilla Firefox

"

We can access it by pressing the combination Control + Shift + Del or through the Menu icontop right formed by three horizontal bars."

"

Once inside we see a window in the center of which the icon of a clock takes us to the section History. We _click_ on it and a new window opens."

In this window we mark details and we can, as in the case of Chrome, delete all browser data, choosing in the same way the period we want to delete.

Microsoft Edge

And we ended up in Edge, Microsoft's own browser that how could it be otherwise, also allows us to manage our browsing data .

"

To do this we are going to go to the Menu icon that is made up of three horizontal bars at the top right."

We then see again the clock-shaped icon, the third in the list, gives us access to the history and we _click_ in it.

"

A new window appears under the legend Clear browsing data with the same procedure as in the two previous cases. At the end of the entire list, a button with the title Delete We select the options that we are interested in deleting and click on Delete"

As you can see, it is a simple process with which to keep our privacy safe, something of the utmost importance especially when we make use of shared equipment, whether on a personal level or in public places.
