1 . Don't save Google search history from browser
2. Don't save Google search history from Windows 10

Every time we use our web browser to interact on the web, we are storing invisible data that is stored in our web history. It is recommended that we erase this data from time to time, especially the search history since if someone sees it they will know what we have been looking for and when..

 

The vast majority of traditional browsers are configured to save the history of the sites we visit, this can help access a website that we have forgotten, but it can bring sensitive privacy and security consequences, although this is the default value. two options to avoid that Google does not save the history and getFastAnswer will explain these two ways in a simple way.
