Hello guys
Is there a way to schedule history deleting of a browser? or a way to make the browser automatically delete the history after closing it or after a certain period of time?
Thank you

Why not use in incognito or private mode? When you close, it will delete all history automatically ;)

In Firefox go to Options then click on Privacy then under History select "Use custom settings for history" then tick the box in "Clear history when Firefox closes" then on the right click on settings and select what to clean when Firefox closes.

You can hit all your browsers, and other system items too, with a CCleaner shortcut with or without the shutdown option. And you can make a scheduled task out of it.

@sido1545 What web browser do you use?

You can schedule CCleaner to clear your browser (and other checked items!) when your PC starts.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, you can clear everything in one-click, using Forget (no add-on required).
