How to view and Delete Google History

Your web browsing history is a snapshot of your inner world, your motivations, and your actions. But like this, you may not want your Google digital newsletter to be hit with content and anyone looking over your shoulder at the wrong time. This article is about how to view and delete Google History in different browsers. You can manage this sensitive history regardless of the browser you use, from Chrome to Firefox and Apple’s Safari, but all methods are different.

And keep in mind that if you have multiple devices – and more than one browser on each device – you can modify some of these steps so that your content doesn’t know that you, for example, need a link hands.
