The browsing history has become an essential element of user privacy when browsing the Internet.
That is why browsers have developed mechanisms to facilitate both access to this information, as well as the possibility of deleting “the footprint” on the websites where you were.
Under this premise, Google developed a function that many users dubbed the “Porn Mode” where the person is allowed to delete your browsing history from the last 15 minutes.

This new function is dedicated to those people who use shared devices, and want to protect their search history, especially at times when they access adult content pages.
How does “Porn Mode” work on Google?
The operation of this mechanism is very simple, you just have to go to your app Google > Click on your profile photo > Click on “My Activity” > Delete the last 15 minutes, and that’s it.
It is important to note that this function goes beyond Google Chrome, since the information collected by Google is based on the moment in which you are in the browser with your account open. That is, even if you use another browser, but you are in Google, then that history will also be deleted.
The feature has already been available on iOS for a few months, and now for some Android users.
“We are currently rolling out this feature to the Google Android app and expect to make it available to all users of the app in the coming weeks,” said Google spokesman Ned Adriance. “We are continuing to explore ways to bring this useful feature to other surfaces.”
