'Our mission is to make getting privacy as easy as closing the blinds.'Įven though the push for more transparency online is gaining traction with some newer companies, if you're one of the people making some of the 3.5 billion search queries each day that are processed by Google, chances are you still might want to delete some, or all, of your internet history.ĭeleting all of your web browsing activity doesn't get rid of all of the information Google has about you, though. 'It feels like the standard of trust online has really gone down, and we are trying to set a new standard of trust online,' said DuckDuckGO's CEO and founder, Gabriel Weinberg. One example of a search engine that prioritizes user privacy is DuckDuckGo, which is essentially a Google that doesn't track you online.

Even if you're someone who already uses Google's incognito web browser, you're still not being kept completely anonymous online.īelieve it or not, there are other web browsers out there besides Google, they are just much less well-known. Deleting your Google web browser history and Google search history is one way to limit how much data you allow to be collected about you on the internet.
