Google Chrome offers its users several options when it comes to
clearing the browsing data. One of the quickest ways is to use the
Ctlr-Shift-Del shortcut to bring up the clear browsing data menu where
you can select the data types that you want to delete (Firefox users:
the same shortcut is opening the browser’s delete browsing data menu as
well).
Besides selecting what you want to delete, you can also select from which point in time on you want the items to be cleared.If you prefer to use the mouse, you can click on the wrench icon, and then on Tools > Clear Browsing Data to open the same menu this way.
It is rather interesting that Chrome does not ship with options to automatically clear all browsing data on exit. While it is possible to delete all cookies and site-data, it currently does not seem possible to delete all data on exit.
You need to use browser extensions or third party programs like CCleaner to automatically delete Google Chrome browsing data. One of the extensions that you can use for that purpose is Click&Clean which offers a rich functionality.
Here is the list of data that it can clean automatically when the browser window is closed:
It is not really clear why Google is not integrating an option to delete all browsing data on exit in the Chrome browser.
The Click&Clean extension for the browser makes more than up for it though, and it is recommended to anyone who wants that feature to be available in the browser.
