Title: How to delete your Google Browsing History before new policy
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on February 27, 2012, 08:46:28 AM

No troll related per se, but for those that value their privacy..

With just a week to go before Google changes to its new privacy policy that allows it to gather, store and use personal information, users have a last chance to delete their Google Browsing History, along with any damning information therein.

Can't get it due to maintenance. 

Bummer. Will check back later.

Thank you for that info buddahpi. I have a few Google accounts and I think it is worth it for the sake of privacy. That site was up for me, but should if go down again, it outlined a few simple steps:

1. Go to the google homepage and sign into your account.
2. Click the dropdown menu next to your name in the upper-right hand corner of your screen.
3. Click accounts settings
4. Find the "Services section"
5. Under "Services" there is a sub-section that reads "View, enable, disable web history." Click the link next to it that reads: "Go to Web History."
6. Click on "Remove all Web History"
When you click on "Remove all Web History," a message appears that says " Web History is Paused." What this means is that while Google will continue gathering and storing information about your web history it will make all data anonymous, that is, Google will not associate your Web History information with your online accounts and will therefore be unable to send you customized search results.
