Do you have a question for us?

01

Search history is something very private and it reveals a lot about your preferences and your secrets. Once it's saved on your browser, it might pop up in autocomplete suggestions or other places that "betray" your secret. We want to provide you an easier way to remove them constantly in order to protect your history, especially if you are sharing your laptop or device with other people in your office or in the house.

02

Yes, it is a free browser extension which you can download from Google's Microsoft Edge Extension Store and install it on your Edge browser.

03

Don't worry, the extension is not sharing your search history with anyone. Your search history is locally stored in your browser and the extension will be installed locally on your browser. The extension communicates directly with your browser. It doesn't send this information out of the box with anybody else. The extension needs to access your search history in order to provide you more freedom to remove them (select the searched terms and remove them as you wish).

04

If the auto-clean mode is ON, you don't need to do anything special. The tool will automatically remove any searched keywords/terms from your search history after your each and every search. If it's set as OFF, you are provided the freedom and flexibility to go to the small control panel inside the extension to remove the searched keywords by yourself.

05
