Why and how to erase your browsing history

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Web browsers keep track of your past activity for a reason. That history comes in handy if you want to find a funny article again, or return to your favorite photo of the kids, or if restore a tab that you accidentally closed. At the same time, some people find this constant tracking a little on the creepy side. Not to mention that, if you share a computer with others, you might not want them finding out about a gift you secretly bought them, your interest in 1970s folk rock, or your more private Google searches.

Fortunately, all of today's web browsers make it very simple to erase your history and wipe away your online tracks. In this guide, you'll find out about the information your browser automatically logs, what that data does—and how to get rid of it

5. It mentioned Chrome as clearing on linked things. Is each browser unto itself (Edge)?

Plus, before Edge, I was able to see all the cookies to pick and choose what to delete. I don't know whether that was with IE, but can't do it with Edge. How can I get this back?
