  • From here, click on the 'more' button located on the right hand side of the browser window. (This will appear as three vertical dots on the right hand side of the screen)

  • Once clicked, go to the History tab, and click 'History' one more time. 

  • This will take you to an additional page where you can view your browser history. You'll also be able to clear all your browsing data, which will be a button visible on the left hand side of the screen.

  • After this, you'll have to decide how far back you would like to clear this from and clear the data from the button at the bottom of the screen.
