How to Delete Chrome Browsing History on Mac

To clear your Google Chrome search history on Mac, follow the process below.

1. Access Chrome’s History Menu

To clear your search history, start by opening Chrome’s history menu. Click the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the browser.

From the dropdown, hover over ‘History,’ then click ‘History‘ again. This will open a page showing all your browsing history.

2. Open the Delete Browsing Data Option

On the history page, find and click ‘Delete browsing data‘ on the left-hand side. This opens a window where you can choose what to delete.

3. Select Time Range to Delete

Use the ‘Basic‘ tab for a quick history cleanup. Then in the ‘Time range‘ dropdown, choose how much history to clear.

Options include ‘Last hour,’ ‘Last 24 hours,’ ‘Last 7 days,’ or ‘All time.’ For a complete cleanup, choose ‘All time.’

4. Select What to Remove

Ensure ‘Browsing history‘ is checked. If you don’t want to remove cookies or cached images, leave those boxes unchecked. For example, if you only want to clear your browsing history, check only that box.

5. Finalize and Clear Data

Click the ‘Delete data‘ button to confirm your selections. The process may take a few moments depending on how much history is being cleared. Once completed, your search history will be deleted.
