Google Chrome now includes a new privacy-focused feature that allows users to easily delete their browsing data from the last 15 minutes, MSPowerUser reported. This feature is a great addition for those who want to quickly and conveniently remove their recent browsing history.

It can be particularly useful when you want to maintain some level of privacy or clear sensitive information quickly, like when using someone else’s system or a public computer.

This feature was initially spotted in Chrome Canary version 120, which is an experimental and pre-release version of Chrome. It is expected to be rolled out to all users in a future update.

This feature is a useful addition for users who want to maintain control over their browsing data and enhance their privacy. It’s part of ongoing efforts by web browsers to give users more control and transparency over their online activities.

There are clearly a few advantages to it like:

  • It can help to protect your privacy by preventing others from seeing what you have been browsing recently.
  • It can help to improve your security by deleting cookies and site data from malicious websites.
  • It can help to free up disk space by deleting cached images and files.
  • It can help to improve the performance of Chrome by clearing out temporary data.
