How to prevent Google Chrome from saving a history of our Internet use

Google Chrome

When we use Google Chrome, all the web pages we visit are saved in the history. This is only avoided if we use incognito mode in the browser. Although there are people who wish that a history was never saved, not even when they use the browser in its normal mode. That is why many delete this history with some frequency. There may be other options.

Since there is a way to prevent the browser from saving a history of the web pages that we have visited. Even when we use Google Chrome in normal mode. It is undoubtedly an option that may interest many users, about which we will tell you more below.

Unfortunately, it is not a function that we find in the browser natively. It is only possible to avoid saving this history if we use it constantly in incognito mode. In this sense, we are going to have to resort to third-party tools, with which we can make the browser not save a browsing history. And there is a tool that will help us in this case.
