Benshaw found that many friends are interested in teaching you how to check and restrict or prevent Chrome from tracking information about everything you do. Bian Xiao sorted out some relevant information and shared it here.

Google Chrome is very popular and notorious for its data collection, but learning how to stop tracking search giants is not always easy. This is because the most popular browsers in the world have many settings on both desktops and mobile platforms. What's more, these are usually related to deeper account settings, rather than directly binding to Chrome.

The end result is a maze of options that can be difficult to navigate and almost impossible not only to stop tracking data, but also almost impossible. But it also makes it difficult to view only trace information.

Of course, it's pretty easy to switch to other browsers such as Warrior, duckweed, Firefox, or Opera. There are many good choices, some of which are better than Chrome in many ways. Users can also choose to log out, at least in some cases, they can provide sufficient protection to prevent collection.

Having said that, all this data tracking does serve its purpose. In addition to providing relevant information, Google Chrome browser also allows users to easily access services from maps to Gmail. All of these services are interconnected, and data moves between them, making life easier for users.

Fortunately, Google does provide users with a way to view, adjust, or stop full tracking. It is completely impossible to know what to do through Chrome.

Stop Chrome tracking on the desktop.

Although desktop platforms are rapidly being replaced by more mobile devices, they are still one of the main ways for users to browse the Internet. Given the popularity of Chrome browsers, browsing in Google Chrome browser is very possible. In addition, this is still one of the easiest ways to adjust, view, or stop tracking browser fans.

In Chrome browsers, whether on Windows, Linux, macOS, or Chrome OS, these steps can be performed through any version of the desktop browser.

Enter activity control.

Accessing the activity tracking tool in Google Chrome browser is now a simple process, but not necessarily an intuitive process. On the desktop, the activity settings are hidden deeper into the user account settings. Therefore, the user needs to navigate there first.

One of the easiest ways to get account settings is to open Chrome, load a new tab, and navigate to Google.com. Because the company has made consistent changes over the past year, any website operated by Google can be run here. But we will use Google.com in this guide.

On this page, users should see pictures of their Google account information in the upper right corner of the page. Or click the button to pop up a menu with the "manage your Google account" button.

Or click the button to take the user to the basic menu we are looking for. Then, the user will need to click or click "data and personalization". Just in case, there is a convenient option to perform privacy checks.

And delete the existing content.

On the account Management page, users can view Google's stored content in multiple places. Data can also be easily deleted from many locations. In this guide, we will save the most obvious parts at the end. This will be the place where users can stop future tracking and set up automatic deletion of saved data. We put the "stop Future tracking" section below.

First, the user needs to scroll down the page to find the section marked "what you created and finished" by Google. This feature has a scrollable card containing all linked services and Google products. Or click the "go to Google Information Center" link to bring up a more detailed view of the link.

On the displayed page, the user can click any card to expand it. The user interface displays a series of data related to the data to be stored according to the selected service. Clicking the three-point menu on the same card provides the option to navigate through a separate tab of the service, where you can find and delete data by service.

At the bottom of the data and Personalization page, users can also find a menu for downloading and / or deleting all the data they store. These options are clearly marked.

Chrome account management makes it easy to delete, download data, or make future data storage plans.

Stop tracking in the future.

In order to read stored data more accurately or to stop tracking core services, users will need an "active control" card on the data and Personalization page. After clicking the "manage your active controls" link, the user will find a scrollable page containing various active cards. For example, you can find web and application history, location history, and even YouTube history on this page.

Each card has a toggle switch, which can quickly and easily turn off the data tracking of the corresponding category. Each also contains a rdq that points to "manage activities."

Uo; links to.

Or click the link above to display a detailed list of related activities, a list that can be organized and explored. In this guide, the Network applications history option is selected. Users can not only scroll through the three-point menu of each project to delete all-day activities or delete individual activities. Google also provides an option to automatically delete data after a set time.

The options there include 18 months, 3 months, or only manual deletions.

Stop Chrome tracking on a mobile device

Now, every menu can be easily found on Android or iOS. First,

Users actually only need to navigate to the Web site where Google is running to find them in Chrome itself. Then they need to open the three-point menu and select the box next to Desktop site to load the entire page.

However, no matter which mobile operating system you use, users can easily access the same settings without opening Chrome. The process behind the two operating systems is slightly different, and Android users have easier-to-discover ways to get things done.

Here, we will provide an overview of both to make it easier to understand how to stop, view, or delete data saved by Chrome.

On any mobile device

On all platforms, the process of ending data tracking and storage is simple and exactly the same. But getting into the menu can be difficult, especially on operating systems set up by competitors with Google. In this case, this will be the iOS of Apple, although the steps in this section can be performed on any mobile OS.

First, users need to make sure they have at least one Google application installed. For the purposes of this guide, we use a dedicated Google application. Then, when you open the application, users will need to click their profile picture to access their account menu. Typically, it is located in the upper-right corner of the user interface.

As with the desktop platform, Google provides them with the name and email address associated with the account. Compared to the links used on desktop platforms, there is a "manage your Google account" button under this menu.

Tapping manage your Google account invokes a UI to manage all operations related to this account. IOS users will see a list, while Android users will see a scrollable page UI. On iPhone, users need to click the personal Information and Privacy option, then scroll down and click active controls.

Android users need to scroll to the right and click "data and Personalization tags". Under this tab, by scrolling down quickly, Google provides the same options as in the Chrome desktop version. Clicking any subsequent links will redirect you to the Web version of the relevant site. Then, it is relatively easy to view, manage, or stop tracking settings as you do when you access settings through the desktop Chrome platform.

Android users have another option to enter the settings

The last option is available to Android users in the Settings application of the operating system, and it is easier to navigate. More directly, for most Android OEM vendors, but not all, the Settings application contains direct links to Google account management. This is completely hidden behind the dedicated "Google" option in the application.

To learn more about Chrome-related settings to stop tracking or view tracked content again, simply click the manage your Google account button. You can find this address at the top of the page, under the user's profile picture and the associated Google account email address.

The function of this button is now exactly the same as that of the above button in any Google application. That is, it navigates the user to the same page UI. Therefore, they need to click the "data and personalization" tab option.

From there, the settings can be organized as accurately as on the network version. This means there are still a lot of left mouse button clicks. However, as shown earlier in this guide, UI is very intuitive. Therefore, it should not be difficult for users to learn how to manage the data stored in Google. Or stop the trace to a large extent.
