How to Make It so that Chrome Doesn't Remember History

Google Chrome has a private browsing mode known as incognito mode. In this mode, Chrome does not remember history and automatically deletes temporary files and the cache, leaving no trace on the computer of the websites you've visited. You can access the mode manually in a normal Chrome window, or you can set your Chrome desktop shortcut to always open in incognito mode.

Instructions

1. Open Google Chrome. Click on the menu's Wrench icon on the right side of the browser menu bar.

2. Select "New Incognito Window." Another Chrome window will open in incognito mode. This is Chrome's private browsing mode -- none of the history or cookies will be recorded while you browse the Web in this mode. Close the incognito window when you are ready to return to normal browsing mode.

3. Set the incognito mode as the default for your Google Chrome desktop shortcut, if you always want to use it. Right-click on your Google Chrome shortcut, and select "Properties." In the "Target" field, move your cursor past "Chrome.exe," and then type a space, followed by:

   -incognito

   Click on "OK." Use this shortcut to open Chrome, and the browser will automatically open in incognito mode.
