Why Delete Your Browsing History?

There are three good reasons:

1. When you encounter login or other problem on a website, deleting history will often resolve the issue.
2. Some websites track your browsing history. Deleting it helps maintain your privacy.
3. If other people have access to your device, you should delete your browsing history…  unless you’ve no secrets.
