Because Google does use your data to customize your Google experience, you may see a decline in the usefulness of some Google services if you delete a significant part of your activity. You can! On the My Activity page, click the menu button three bars and click Delete activity by.
Under Delete by date , click the date and choose All time from the drop-down menu. Then click Delete. Google is nice enough to give you some privacy settings right inside the My Activity page. Click the menu icon in the upper left corner and click Activity controls to see what types of activities you're allowing Google to track.
Next to each module you will see a toggle that you can turn off to prevent Google from saving that type of activity. You can also click Manage Activity to go to that product's activity page. You may also want to do a Google privacy checkup , or check out our article on more ways to keep Google from tracking you. Even if you're someone who already uses Google's Incognito web browser, you're still not being kept completely anonymous online. Believe it or not, there are other web browsers out there besides Google — they are just much less well-known.
One example of a search engine that prioritizes user privacy is DuckDuckGo , which is essentially a Google that doesn't track you online. Even though the push for more transparency online is gaining traction with some newer companies, if you're one of the people making some of the 3.
Deleting all of your web-browsing activity doesn't get rid of all of the information Google has about you, though. You also have to separately delete certain data like your maps activity if you have "location history" turned on. Even if you delete all or some of your activity, Google still maintains records about the way you used its web browser related to the deleted data — if you search for something, it'll remember that you searched for something at that specific time and date, but not what you specifically you searched for, according to the company's website.
Unlike some other tech companies, Google says it will actually delete the data associated with your account after you delete it. Aside from using a web browser like DuckDuckGo, one of the easiest things you can do to ensure your future online activity is not tracked moving forward is too choose "Stop Saving Activity" when you adjust your Google settings.
Just remember that if you delete your history, all of your saved passwords will be wiped too, so you'll have to log in again to any sites for which you had saved passwords.

Nothing came up under web activity because I use FireFox instead of Chrome? Did I miss something that might be there or are they keeping less than everyone thinks? Try using the venerable Firefox Web browser instead of Google's Chrome. The more you mix and match Web services, the less any one company is able to form a complete picture of you. Don't forget that while you're busy surfing the Internet, your browser is also busy making a list of the sites you visit.
Anyone who gets access to your computer can see it. You can delete some or all of the websites you've visited by going to your browser's options menu. Or you can use a free third-party cleaner program like CCleaner. If you want to surf the Web without leaving a trace, all modern browsers have private, or incognito, browsing. While in this mode, your browser will ignore cookies and won't record visited sites to your browser's history.
Just don't confuse private browsing with anonymity. Your Internet service provider and your employer if you're on a work computer can still track the sites you're visiting.
