The browsing history belongs to a user and is one of the most private elements that a user has when using a web browser since it offers a look at all the web pages that it visited during a specific moment.
This can be a problem for those people who are forced to share a computer and do not want others to know what their browsing habits and the content they consume are, even more so if they have visited websites with adult content.
Trying to solve this situation Google Chrome implemented for a while a function that has been baptized by many users as the “porn mode”which allows any user delete the record of the pages visited during the last 60 minutes. This means that with the click of a button, people can delete any record that may have been stored on the computer that they accessed an adult page.
Notably this feature is available for both the desktop version of Google Chrome and the mobile versionwhich guarantees that regardless of the device from which the person connects, they can always delete their history.
In addition to history, Chrome also offers the ability to delete cookies, data stored by websites, as well as cached files and images.
To use the function of Google Chrome it is necessary access the configuration menu from the browser. This is possible by pressing the button in the shape of three vertical dots located at the top right of the screen and selecting the “Settings” option.
Doing this will open a new tab in which the user must Click on the “Privacy and security” option located in the left sidebar. At this point, the next step is to press the “Clear browsing data” button that is accompanied by the icon of a trash can.
Later a dialog box will be displayed in which the person can choose the period of history they want to delete, which can range from one hour to deleting the entire browsing history. In this box you can also define if you want to delete cookies and cache, or if you want to delete it.
