It is basically the problem of many new users who wonder how to clear history on mac.

MacBooster is a professional Mac cleaning app, which can be used to delete search history from multiple browsers all at once.

Simply launch the application, you would be able to clear histories from Safari, Chrome, Opera, and FireFox. Select the browsers that you want to clear history from and click Clean to complete the process. The MacBooster would get rid of the entire browsing history, for instance, the download history, caches, cookies, saved passwords, and other sessions on your Mac.

Clear History on Different Browsers

Most of the times, people do not download any other browser than Google Chrome or Opera, or they use the default built-in Macbook internet browser, which is Safari. Safari is basically a quite user-friendly application as it is easy to understand its functions. Moreover, if you want to delete browsing history from any other internet browser, then the method is quite similar to this one. Simply go to the menu bar and click on "History". A drop-down menu would appear once you click on History, and thus, click on "Clear history and website data".

The Mac Book would present a dialogue box, which would ask you for confirmation before executing your command. Whichever internet browser you use would further ask you about the time span of the history that you want to clear, for instance, the browsing history of the last hour, today, yesterday, the past week, or all of the history. Select the time span of your choice, and click on ‘Clear History’ to let the internet browser execute the command.

Furthermore, it should be acknowledged by Mac Book users that if they clear the browsing history on their computer, it cannot be retained. Therefore, you should check properly whether if you only want to clear the browsing history, download history, passwords, Autofill form data, separately or all at once. Clearing the browsing history may get rid of many junk files that affect the performance of your browser.
