Clear the browsing history
The browser keeps the last 100 pages you visited, in one window with your saved pages. Delete one page, clear the whole list, or stop saving history.
01Open Saved pages and history
In the Browser section, click the three dots at the right of the address bar (Browser tools) and choose History. Saved pages in the same menu opens the same window on its other side, Saved pages and history. On the left are Saved and History with their counts, the history split into Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, and Older. One search box at the top looks through both, and every page shows the coloured letter of its site, its title, and its address.
02What the browser remembers
ClipHearth keeps the last 100 pages. Each new visit pushes out the oldest entry, so the list never grows past that, and a longer history saved by an earlier version is trimmed to the newest 100 when the app starts.
03Delete a single page
Every row has a bin icon on the right (Remove from history) that removes just that page. The change is written to disk straight away and the address also disappears from the suggestions under the address bar. The star in a row saves the page to Saved instead, and a saved page is removed with its own bin icon after a confirmation right in the row.
04Clear the whole history
Clear history… at the bottom of the History side empties the list once you confirm. Saved pages stay. Addresses you delete are not kept in the diagnostic log either.
05Stop saving history
In Settings › Browser, the HISTORY card has Keep browsing history, on by default. Turn it off and press Save: new pages are no longer saved, and whatever is already saved stays until you delete it in Saved pages and history.
06Cookies are separate
The history is a list of addresses. Sites that remember you do so with cookies, and those are deleted with Delete cookies… in the same Browser tools menu, which signs you out of every site in the built-in browser.
07Where the history lives
In the settings file on your own computer, next to the rest of your preferences. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, which is also what our privacy notice says.
Didn't solve it? Write to us - attach a diagnostics log if you have one. Missing a feature? Tell us what you would use it for; several of the recent ones started as a suggestion.
