Instead of pouring Drano on your computer, which may or may not make your IT department happy (depending on its level of dedication to the art of IT support), you can simply clear your browsing data. Seriously, though, it can speed up your browsing, not to mention fix any cookie conflicts you may be experiencing. \nYour browser caches your browsing data, which means that it stores data on your computer because it thinks that it can more quickly access that data locally than from across the Internet. And for the most part, that’s true — unless there’s so much browsing data for it to sort through that it bogs down your computer. Also, cookies — not the munchy kind, but the kind that stores data relevant to certain web sites on your computer — can cause web site login problems and other issues. Clearing this data can actually help your browser’s performance.\nTo clear your browsing data, take these steps:\n\n In the upper-right corner of your browser, click the Chrome button.\n \n Click Settings. The Settings page appears.\n \n Scroll down and click Show Advanced Settings.\n \n Scroll down further and click the Clear Browsing Data under Privacy. This calls up the Clear Browsing Data dialogue box (see Figure 1).\n \n In the Obliterate the Following Items drop-down menu, choose the timeframe in which you want to purge data.\n \n Check the boxes for what you want to obliterate:\n \n Browsing history: This is the list of all the web pages you’ve visited. For any number of reasons, you may not want to keep this information for too long, though it does help with Chrome’s autofilling of web addresses.\n \n Download history: This is the list of all the files you’ve downloaded. You may not want to keep this either, unless you think you may want to redownload files later. \n \n Cookies and other site and plugin data: Cookies store web-site-specific information that may or may not be important. Think carefully before deleting these (see the Warning below).\n \n Cached images and files: Chrome stores html files and images from the web sites you’ve visited and displays those if it doesn’t detect any changes to them when you choose to visit the site again. This is what can really bog down your browser, if it has to search through a million cached files when trying to render a web page. With broadband speeds so fast nowadays, especially in the workplace, it may not be worth the lag time to keep a large cache of html and image files.\n \n Passwords: If you’ve told Chrome to store login usernames and passwords for certain websites, this is where they’re stored. Think carefully about deleting any of these; that is, make sure you remember or write down the logins before you delete them!\n \n Autofill form data: Chrome enables you to keep some standard information about yourself, such as your name, address, phone number, and so on, for when you fill out online forms. You probably don’t want to delete this without a specific reason.\n \n Hosted app data: This is data from Google apps that you use in Chrome, such as Gmail. You probably want to leave this alone.\n \n Content licenses: The licenses for any content you’ve bought through Chrome will be deleted. For example, if you’ve purchased videos or music through Chrome, the license that says you have the right to watch or listen to them are stored here. You don’t want to do delete these, unless you’re getting rid of your computer.\n \n \n \n Click the Clear Browsing Data button.\nFigure 1: Nuke your browsing data.\n \n\nSource: Google\nYou’ll notice that Chrome default-checks some items and doesn’t default-check others. That’s because it’s likely you don’t want to clear passwords, autofill data, app data, and content licenses. Those can be pretty important to your daily browsing habits. Of the default-checked items, most of that stuff can be safely obliterated — except cookies and plugin data. Yes, cookies can cause conflicts, but unless you’re experiencing a specific issue that may be cookie-related, you probably don’t want to delete them. Cookies remember certain things about the web sites you’ve visited that you may want to preserve, such as links you’ve already visited, when you logged in last, and so on. If you’re experiencing cookie issues, it’s best to delete individual cookies for a specific web site than to clear all of them. To do that, in Settings under Privacy, click Content Settings, and then click the All Cookies and Site Data button. You can browse or search for the web site cookie you want to delete.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":140595,"data":{"title":"How to Decipher Google Chrome’s Content Privacy Settings","slug":"how-to-decipher-google-chromes-content-privacy-settings","update_time":"2021-12-14T17:26:07+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Internet Basics","slug":"internet-basics","categoryId":33587}],"description":"Google Chrome takes seriously the privacy and security of your content while you browse the web, because, like it or not, there are certain people out there who will try to take advantage of you by trying to get a hold of the information on your computer. As with most things in life, it’s better to be safe than sorry when protecting your personal information.\r\nIf you’re working with a personal (that is, non-work) computer, managing these settings is your responsibility. But if you’re using a work computer, you may find that your employer’s IT department is already enforcing some of these settings according to its security policy. Those settings will appear grayed-out and with a little buildings icon next to it, meaning that you can’t change them.\r\nHere’s a rundown of what all those content privacy settings mean.\r\nCookies\r\nCookies allow external websites to store information on your computer to help them remember you. This information may include the last time you visited the site, the links you’ve clicked, and so on. You may not want external websites to set that kind of data on your computer, or your employer may not want them to. Just check the box to block third-party cookies and site data if you don’t want websites to have that kind of access.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"332\"] Figure 1: You can block websites from setting cookies on your computer. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nImages\r\nDeciding whether to show images on websites isn’t really a security concern, but not showing images can speed up your browsing considerably. You’ll miss out on a lot, though. You may only want to disable images if your connection is very slow or if you’re on a data plan (for example, if you’re on the road and tethering your laptop to your phone’s data connection so that you can access the internet). Downloading images can eat into your allowed data quickly, and if you’re interested only in the text, why waste your data?\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"232\"] Figure 2: No more pretty pictures, please. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nJavaScript\r\nJavaScript can be a major security concern. JavaScript applications are tiny programs that run on websites. Most above-board websites use JavaScript in a positive, nonthreatening way, such as gathering website traffic data (that is, tracking where you go and what you click on their website).\r\n\r\nHowever, some not-so-nice websites can use JavaScript to try to get at the information on your computer. If you’re in the habit of visiting only nice websites, then you can leave JavaScript enabled; however, if you tend to venture on the wild side of the web, you may want to disable JavaScript.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"306\"] Figure 3: Disable JavaScript if you don’t want to risk intrusion. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nHandlers\r\nHandlers are external applications (that is, not your browser) on your computer that are allowed to handle certain tasks. For example, if you click a link for someone’s email address, it’s very likely that Chrome will tell your default email application to open so that you can write a new message to the recipient. Websites may ask you if you’d like them to handle certain tasks for you. It’s up to you to decide whether to let them. Rest assured, websites can’t do this without your permission, which is why they ask.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"454\"] Figure 4: Let other apps do the heavy lifting. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nPlugins\r\nPlugins are little applications that you install in your browser to enhance its functionality. You might also call then Add-ons. Plugins are a great way to enable your browser to do things more easily. For example, if you frequently take screenshots of websites, you can get a screenshot plugin that enables you to take a screenshot with just one or two clicks. But plugins can also do some nefarious things, which is why you may want to limit their use.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"287\"] Figure 5: Plug in and expand Chrome’s functionality. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nPop-ups\r\nWe all know about pop-ups — those mostly annoying browser windows that pop up with advertisements, interrupting the flow of what you’re doing. It’s worse than TV commercials! Sometimes, though, pop-ups are necessary, such as when you’re purchasing something online. But that’s a relatively rare situation compared to when ads pop up, so it’s best to keep pop-ups disabled and add exceptions on a case-by-case basis.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"348\"] Figure 6: Get out of here, dreaded popup ads. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nLocation\r\nSome websites may want to know where you’re located, such as a shopping site asking you where you are so that it can show you pricing for the nearest store. Most of the time, this is harmless. But still, you may not want people to know where you are. So, it’s probably best to not allow websites to know where you are, except for when they ask and you decide to let them know. Note, though, that for your work computer, your IT department may completely disable this so that, no matter what, websites can’t know where you are.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"415\"] Figure 7: Don’t let them know where you are. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nNotifications\r\nChrome allows websites to provide desktop notifications, such as when new emails arrive in your web-based email app or the latest football scores or weather updates. The default for this setting is to have websites ask if you want to receive notifications. But if you know for sure that you either want or don’t want them, you can change this setting appropriately.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"371\"] Figure 8: Get notified by websites. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nFullscreen\r\nBelieve it or not, some websites have the audacity to want to take over your entire screen. Luckily, Chrome makes them ask first, so you can rightfully say no. You can use this setting to specify exceptions — that is, sites that you want to automatically take over your screen, such as gaming sites.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"175\"] Figure 9: Manage which websites can take over your computer screen. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nMouse cursor\r\nYou may not realize this, but an external website can disable your mouse cursor if it wants to. For example, online games may disable your mouse cursor during play. You can decide whether you want websites to be able to do this; the default is that they have to ask.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"400\"] Figure 10: Tell Chrome not to let websites disable your cursor. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nProtected content\r\nProtected content is usually content that you’ve subscribed to or purchased the right to view on your computer. If you do this often, you’ll want to make sure the Allow box is checked for this option.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"535\"] Figure 11: Make it so you can view the content you purchase. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nMedia\r\nSome websites, such as sites that offer web conferencing, may want to use your microphone and camera. That’s perfectly understandable, given the usage. But beware websites that you don’t know that want access. That’s why Chrome asks for your permission before granting access. But if you’re sure you’d never want a website to have that kind of access, choose Do Not Allow from the options.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"487\"] Figure 12: Don’t let sites peek at you. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nUnsandboxed plugin access\r\nChrome runs all of its plug-ins in a sandboxed environment, which means that it limits the access that the plug-ins have to your computer. That way, they can’t cause all kinds of havoc on your computer. Some plug-ins, however, require unrestricted access. You can safely allow the above-board add-ons, such as a streaming video player from a company you trust (such as your cable company), to run outside of the sandboxed environment. But you should be very careful about giving that kind of access to any and all plug-ins. It’s best to let Chrome ask when to run plug-ins outside of the sandbox.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"474\"] Figure 13: Keep plug-ins playing in the sandbox. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nAutomatic downloads\r\nSome websites may try to force Chrome to download multiple files — and some of them may be harmful. For example, if you download one file by choice, the site may try to download another file after that without your permission. Obviously, you don’t want websites downloading stuff to your computer without your permission, so it’s best to keep the Ask When option selected.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"515\"] Figure 14: Prevent unauthorized downloads. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nMIDI devices full control\r\nMIDI is an old technology that allows for digital communication between electronic musical instruments. What does this have to do with Chrome? Well, believe it or not, your computer contains MIDI support (and has for a long, long time). Websites can access those MIDI devices to make music in your Chrome browser. Will you ever use this? Probably not, but you might as well leave the default Ask Me option selected.\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"535\"] Figure 15: Allow websites to use your computer’s MIDI devices. Source: Google.com[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\nMost of these settings have a Manage Exceptions button that enables you to set which sites you want to exclude from a particular exception. So, for example, if you don’t want to download images on most sites except for a few, then you can list the exceptions under that setting.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":140687,"data":{"title":"How to Save a Web Page in Google Chrome","slug":"how-to-save-a-web-page-in-google-chrome","update_time":"2021-06-04T21:44:32+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Internet Basics","slug":"internet-basics","categoryId":33587}],"description":"You may find a time when you can’t be online, but you still want or need to read some online content. One example: a long plane flight, where you likely have limited or no online access, but you may still need to do some research for that important business meeting you’re flying to. Rather than packing a bunch of printed material, you can save web pages to your computer for offline reading. Here’s how:\r\n\r\n \t\r\nIn Chrome, click the Chrome button in the top-right corner.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nChoose Save Page As. The Save As dialogue box appears (see Figure 1).\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAlternatively, you can press Ctrl+S in Windows or Cmd+S on a Mac to call up the Save As dialogue box.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nIn the left pane, navigate to where you want to save the web page.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nIn the File Name field, give the web page a name if the one supplied isn’t to your liking. Note that Chrome automatically gives the web page the same name that appears in the title bar of the browser, which may be too long or not particularly useful.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nChoose how to save the web page from the Save as Type drop-down menu:\r\n\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWebpage, HTML Only: This option saves only the HTML of the page — that is, the code that the browser reads and interprets in order to display the page. It doesn’t save images and other types of files. Later, when you open the page in Chrome, you’ll notice that only text will appear on the page, without all the visual noise surrounding it.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWebpage, Complete: This option saves everything that Chrome needs to display the web page as it would appear if your visited it in real time in your browser. Don’t choose this option if all you’re interested in is the text on the page; otherwise, you’ll download a bunch of stuff you don’t need and take up valuable space on your hard drive.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \t\r\nClick Save.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFigure: 1: Saving a web page with Chrome.\r\n\r\n\r\nSource: Google\r\n\r\nThe web page is saved to your computer. Now, navigate on your computer to where you saved the file and open it. It’s probably best to open the web page in Chrome, since you saved it in Chrome; other browsers may have problems displaying it correctly.\r\nMany web pages have advertisements on them. When you save a web page using the Complete option, you get every single item that the browser needs to display that web page. And if the web page isn’t constructed particularly well, you may end up with those advertisements displaying in odd places, such as smack dab in the middle of your text. That’s why if you’re interested in only the content, the HTML-only option may be the way to go.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":140685,"data":{"title":"How to Use Google Chrome Privacy Settings","slug":"how-to-use-google-chrome-privacy-settings","update_time":"2021-12-14T17:14:25+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Internet Basics","slug":"internet-basics","categoryId":33587}],"description":"Google Chrome puts a premium on your online privacy and has a host of settings to help protect your privacy. If you’re using a personal (that is, non-work) computer, you’re responsible for those settings yourself. But if you’re using a company-provided computer, you may find that your IT department has already made some of those privacy decisions for you.\r\n\r\nTo access Chrome’s privacy settings, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \t\r\nClick the Chrome button in the top-right corner of the browser.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nChoose Settings. The Settings page displays in your browser.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nScroll down and click the Show Advanced Settings link.

Those settings appear grayed out with a buildings icon next to them. You can’t change those settings, because your IT department likely has very good, security-minded reasons for enforcing them.\r\nHere’s a quick rundown of what all those settings mean:\r\n\r\n \t\r\nContent settings: You’ll find a whole slew of settings here to help determine how Chrome manages website content. Those are covered in this article: How to Decipher Google Chrome’s Content Privacy Settings.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nClear browsing data: Use this to get rid of the browsing data that Chrome stores locally on your computer. This is covered in this article: How to Clear Your Google Chrome Browsing Data.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nUse a web service to help resolve navigation errors: If you try to visit a page that doesn’t load, Chrome can send back to Google for help. Google tries to resolve the issue for you by suggesting alternative pages. The reason this is a privacy setting is that Chrome sends where you’re trying to go to Google. If you don’t want it to, then make sure this box is unchecked.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nUse a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar or the app launcher search box: Google tries to help you in auto-completing search phrases and URLs that you type in, based on your search and browsing history, as well as other web searches that have been done on Google. Again, data is sent to Google, which you may not want to share. If you don’t mind and find Google’s help valuable, then check this box.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nPrefetch resources to load pages more quickly (also known as “Predict network actions to improve page load performance”): This option can help speed up your browsing. When you visit a site, Chrome analyzes the links on the page and contacts those sites to download all the resources needed to render the page even before you click the link. This can make the next page display lickety-split. The caveat is, however, that those prefetched sites can set cookies in your browser before you visit them, which carries a security risk. Honestly, with broadband speeds so fast nowadays, the time you might save in prefetching resources might not be worth the risk.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAutomatically report details of possible security incidents to Google: Google’s Safe Browsing, which is already ingrained in Chrome, relies partially on reports of security incidents from users. If Chrome has suspicions about a site or download, it will ask if you want to send a security report to Google. Enabling this setting bypasses Google asking your permission and automatically sends the report.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nEnable phishing and malware protection: Chrome helps protect your computer by checking the URL of the website you’re visiting against a list of websites known to be disreputable. If it finds a match, not only do you get a warning, but the URL is also sent to Google to confirm whether the site poses a risk or not.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nUse a web service to help resolve spelling errors: If you know you’re not going to be winning any spelling bees in the near future, then you may want to take advantage of Google’s spellcheck service. This is the same spellchecker Google uses in its search engine to provide you with relevant search results even if you misspell a word or two. Chrome does send what you type to Google, so decide for yourself if you want them to know how bad a speller you are!\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAutomatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google: If you want to help Google improve Chrome, you can send your usage statistics, as well as reports on when Chrome has crashed or not worked properly. This does send information such as your preferences and what you’ve clicked, but it doesn’t send your personal information.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nSend a “Do Not Track” request with your browsing traffic: If you don’t want the websites you visit to track what you’re doing, then check this box. However, this doesn’t mean that websites won’t collect your browsing data for their own purposes, such as serving up ads and analyzing traffic statistics. Keep in mind, though, that this is a “request,” and it’s up to the website to decide whether it honors the request (most don’t).\r\n\r\n","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":146899,"data":{"title":"Chromebook: Erase Your Browsing History","slug":"chromebook-erase-your-browsing-history","update_time":"2016-03-26T08:22:36+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Computers","slug":"computers","categoryId":33513},{"name":"Chromebooks","slug":"chromebooks","categoryId":33515}],"description":"Before you sell your computer (or loan it to someone else), you may want to remove any personal information first.

Instead of pouring Drano on your computer, which may or may not make your IT department happy (depending on its level of dedication to the art of IT support), you can simply clear your browsing data. Seriously, though, it can speed up your browsing, not to mention fix any cookie conflicts you may be experiencing. Your browser caches your browsing data, which means that it stores data on your computer because it thinks that it can more quickly access that data locally than from across the Internet. And for the most part, that’s true — unless there’s so much browsing data for it to sort through that it bogs down your computer. Also, cookies — not the munchy kind, but the kind that stores data relevant to certain web sites on your computer — can cause web site login problems and other issues. Clearing this data can actually help your browser’s performance. To clear your browsing data, take these steps: In the upper-right corner of your browser, click the Chrome button. Click Settings. The Settings page appears. Scroll down and click Show Advanced Settings. Scroll down further and click the Clear Browsing Data under Privacy. This calls up the Clear Browsing Data dialogue box (see Figure 1). In the Obliterate the Following Items drop-down menu, choose the timeframe in which you want to purge data. Check the boxes for what you want to obliterate:
