Browser history and related data can jeopardize your privacy if you are using a shared computer. We’re a big advocate of safe browsing, and we’ve talked about methods to help you do just that.
One trick that helps you make such an installation is to create hidden profiles and use them secretly. An even better way is to use private browsing mode.
Today we intend to make the process of clearing browsing data simpler. The rotation is to automatically delete that data when you close your browser, be it Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. It’s a useful trick because people often don’t forget to exit the browser when they are using it on some computer other than their own.
Firefox automatically clears browser data when closed
Out of the three browsers I researched, I found Firefox to have the best settings and the easiest to customize.
Step 1: Navigate to Firefox (orange button on top left) Options -> Options.
Step 2: On the Options dialog box highlight the focus to Privacy tab and click the read dropdown Firefox will below History part. Select Use custom settings for history.
Step 3: Check read option Clear history when closing Firefox and click Setting for further customization.
Step 4: In this dialog you can select/deselect anything you want to remove or keep when closing the browser.
Automatically ask Chrome to clear browser data when closed
I couldn’t find a direct way to clear all browsing data on Chrome (on exit) and I’m not sure if the behavior is the same across all versions. However, there are a few facts and features to help you.
First, if you just want to know about deleting cookies and related data, navigate to the address bar and type chrome://chrome/settings/content. If you’re reading this on Chrome, click here.
If you want more, I recommend installing the Click&Clean plugin for Chrome (also available for Firefox). When you’re done, click the extension icon and navigate to its extension Option.
Unchecked Disableunchecked Ask me before deletingextend Chrome browser, tick the boxes you need and exit the page. Your settings will be determined to erase all data on exit.
Automatically ask Internet Explorer to clear browser data when closed
There are two ways to configure this on Internet Explorer (depending on the version you are using). Towards Tools -> Internet Options and check read option Clear access history on exit Put under browsing history part.
If you don’t see any such option, click Setting and put Date of keeping the history page to zero (0). However, this only works for visited sites.
Conclusion
This is a pretty cool way to stay safe with your browsing activities. While you lose out on memory that you may need sometimes, your priority may sometimes be in favor of security.
