Disable Google’s Web History…

April 20, 2007

Google has just did a very suspicious thing, but you can get rid of it.  It’s called Google Web History.  It can record where you are all over the web and it all happens when you have the Google Toolbar installed.  There’s a easy fix.  Go to http://www.google.com/history ok when you get there and login with your google account, click on keep track of web searches only.  Then you go to a page that has your search history.  Click clear all search history and it pauses your web search history.  It looks like, to me, that you can never resume the collecting of this data and it will never record a search again(well, as YOU anyway).

If your really really paranoid, then what are you doing on the web??

    to disable any search engine search history first Go to “Internet Option => Contants => Auto Complete =>Forms” uncheck it and than ok it. than close your web browser and start new. now no history will be save in your search engine. enjoy.

    BTW, you can resume it, on the main page it will give you the option of doing so.
