  • Thanks for this recipe. I am hoping that apple makes an option for Safari in the future that allows for permanent private browsing rather then activating it. With that the activiation isn't even a key command but requires an annoying confirmation click. At least now some of my "private" searches won't show up when a family member uses my machine. :oops:
  • Thank u so so so so so so much that helped a lot
  • whoever made this site is a genious, and i thank them for helping me out. You rock dude, and if I was rich, i would give you a donation
  • were is the safri menu on google :(
  • this does not clear the search history. it merely disables the auto-fill function. As soon as you re-activate the auto-fill function the search history is retrieved.

    it seems the only way to clear the search history is to reset safari.
  • This doesn't permanently keep new searches from being stored.
    (I find it annoying, for some reason, to be reminded of past searches.)
    If you follow these instructions under "Clearing Just Your Google History," this gets you half way there. After that, you also have to uncheck the Autofill box.
    That's working for me so far.
  • At item #6 there appears nothing to remove. I'm unable to select "remove." My problem is that Safari reset command, has been somehow disabled. It work correctly for a period of time. Now, it doesn't work at all.
  • thanks really helpfull!
    :D
  • Very helpful. Thanks.
  • thank you!!!!! those damn autofill get really annoying
  • Thank you so much i learned some new from you my friend . again thank you so muchhhhh ! ! ! !
  • your solution is close to perfect but when you only want google to be deleted it doesn't permanently deletes recent searches, and for a second look it just disabled auto fill. but this tip is quite helpful tough. now its for me to find my own solution for permanent deleting program.. anyway thanks its nearly a help.
  • Thank you so much for this! I really needed this in case my parents ever wanted to Google search something on my laptop. Thanks!
  • have tried both these and they don't work! help!
  • they both didn't work for me either !

  • yes you're heaven sent! i barely have enough time to clean up my act before anyone starts sharing with me my laptop. it is inevitable because we type patient records and all that. thanks so much!!!
  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!
