After opening the Mozilla Firefox browser, locate the button in the top right-hand corner of your internet browser with the three horizontal lines. Click on it to reveal the menu.

Select Settings from the menu.

Once you've clicked on Settings, select Privacy & Security from the menu on the left-hand side.

After selecting this a list of options will appear to the right. Select the Standard option; it is likely the best place to start, as it as been designed for this purpose in mind.

If you continue to scroll down, there are radio buttons to choose (instead of Standard) a Strict option or a Custom option.

Continuing to scroll further down the page will reveal more options such as Cookies and Site Data.

Clicking on the Clear Data button under the Cookies and Site Data section will present a couple of options relating to cookies and cache.

You can choose to manage the history automatically by opting for Never remember history or Use custom settings for history from the drop-down menu.

You can also select to Remember history and, whenever necessary, return to this setting and choose Clear History to completely erase the history all at once. You could, of course, combine both approaches to suit your specific needs.

In Google Chrome, accessing the history section begins by clicking on the three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner of the internet browser.

After clicking on the dots, a drop-down menu will appear. Select Settings.

Once the Settings window is open you can click on the Privacy and security option to delete Chrome's history.

Once the Privacy and Security window is open you can click on the Clear browsing data option to delete Chrome's history.

If you would rather manually choose one item at a time, you could do this by reading through the list of pages visited and searches. Select the three vertical dots that sit to the right of the item you would like to erase and choose Remove from history from the pop-out menu. Alternatively, you can use the checkboxes in the list.

Like some other browsers, if you’re logged into Google from other devices (your mobile phone or tablet, perhaps) you can also delete their history if the devices are synced together and logged in to the same account.. With Chrome, selecting Tabs from other devices enables you to manage that history.

After clicking Clear browsing data from the History tab, you will have the option to choose Basic (easier to use) or Advanced (more options). In that box, you have the choice between browsing history, cookies, and more.

The listing is simple and self-evident. It even includes defining if you'd like to clear your synced devices (other places where you may be logged into Google). As well as this, you can specify the time frame in which you'd like to clear your history.

After selecting your options, click Clear data.

Like the other internet browsers, head to the top right-hand corner of the screen. Locate and click on the gear icon.

Clicking the Safety option will reveal another menu. In this menu, select the Delete browsing history button.

After clicking on Delete browsing history this responding dialog box will pop up. You can select to remove the Temporary Internet files and website files (cache), and also the Cookies and website data, as well as others.

You could choose to Preserve Favorites website data, located at the top of the box. This is useful if you want to clear out your browser files, but you don’t want to lose important data - your Favorites.

If you choose to delete your Passwords (an option here), make sure you have them remembered or written down somewhere. Alternatively, don't tick this box to preserve them.

In order to customize and specify how Internet Explorer handles history, cache, etc., gpo back to the gear icon in the top right of the browser. Select Internet Options from the pop-out menu.

Here, you can click on Delete under Browsing History to erase your history. There are also Settings, plus the option to Delete browsing history on exit.

All of this is automatically shown as it sits under the first tab, General.

From the same window, you can click on the Content tab. From here, you can adjust the Settings for AutoComplete.

Like cookies from websites, the AutoComplete data helps you when you’re browsing by finishing the web addresses you’re typing out. From here you can select to remove that information from your Internet Explorer data.

Use the check boxes to choose specifically which AutoComplete data you would like to remove, then click OK.

Before doing this, you may also Delete AutoComplete history, taking care of it all in one click.

In Edge, just like the other browsers, click the three horizontal dots in the top right-hand corner of the browser.

Once the menu drops down, click on Settings.

In the Settings menu, click on Privacy, search and services on the left-hand side. Then, click on the Choose what to clear option.

Inside the Clear browsing data list there are a list of available options that can be selected and cleared. Four of these options are, by default, already selected: Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data, Cached data and files, and Tabs that I’ve set aside or recently closed.

From there you can choose any or all of the other five options. Or, you could leave them unticked and keep that data.

Also, there is an option to have this data cleared automatically every time you close Microsoft Edge. To achieve this, click the Always clear this when I close the browser slider option.

After selecting what you would like to clear, click the Clear button. Once everything has been cleared you’ll see a small 'All clear!' Message

Click the History tab located at the top.

Once this tab is open, you can click on 'Clear History'

To manage how your browser behaves with these items, select Settings within the Safari drop down menu.

In the Settings box, you can select the Privacy tab.

Here, you may click the Block all cookies box, which easily removes Safari's stored data and history. To specify which files are deleted, choose the Manage Website Data button.

If you're in a particular rush and want to get Safari cleared completely and immediately, another option is to select Reset Safari. This basically puts Safari back to its factory settings, a point from which you can start all over again.
