For those of us who come from the world of desktop PCs, we have years behind us to deal with multiple browsers, but mobile devices have put this technology in the hands of inexperienced people, so we are going to show you how to erase browsing history and data of Chrome for Android .

As we navigate from our mobile phone or tablet through the different websites, Google Chrome is collecting a browsing history with the websites visited and also stores small cookie files, chache data, form data, etc.

How to clear Chrome's history and browsing data for Android.

It is very common that we want to maintain the privacy of our Android device and even more, if we know that our children can accidentally pick up our phone or even in case of theft, by cleaning the browsing data we will safeguard our passwords .

Google Chrome saves all this data series to offer a better user experience and thus improve the loading of web pages and avoid having to enter our username and password each time we access a protected website. This is a double file weapon, and on the one hand it is true that it represents an improvement in the user experience, but on the other hand it can compromise our privacy .

• Access Google Chrome and click on the icon with three vertical points located in the upper right corner.
• In the options menu that is displayed, select "Settings" , then click on "Privacy" and finally "Delete navigation data" .
• In a last step we select the data we want to delete (history, cookies, cache, etc) and press the "Delete data" button .
