Maintaining privacy while browsing the internet is a top concern for many individuals. To safeguard your privacy when using Google Chrome, one solution is to secure your browsing history. Although Google Chrome does not offer a built-in feature to lock browsing history, there are alternative methods to achieve this. In this blog article, we will provide guidance on how to lock your browsing history on Google Chrome.
Create a Supervised Profile
This is one of the efficient ways to lock your browsing history on Google Chrome. By creating a supervised user profile, you can keep tabs on all internet activities under that profile. Here are the steps to create a supervised profile:
- Open Google Chrome and click on the “Profile” icon on the top right corner and then click on “Add”.
- On the pop-up screen, check the box next to “Supervise this person” then click on “Add”.
- Now, you have successfully created a supervised profile.
Use Extensions
Another solution to lock your browsing history is by using specific extensions available on the Google Chrome Web Store. Here are some extensions you can use:
Off The Record History
This extension will automatically delete any pages you visit from your browsing history once all the tabs of that page have been closed.
History Lock
This extension requires a password to view and clear your browsing history. It also provides an auto-lock feature which locks your history after a certain period of inactivity.
Here’s how to install an extension:
- Open Google Chrome and go to the “Chrome Web Store”.
- Search for the extension and click on “Add to Chrome”.
- Now, the extension is successfully installed and ready to use.
Please note, these options don’t guarantee complete privacy. Always ensure you’re taking other steps to protect your online activities and personal information.
