How to make Google Chrome forget a website
Whenever I visit a certain a website, Google chrome somehow still has the exact input I typed in to perform a search. Every time I go back to the website, it automatically executes that same original search over again.
How do I make Google Chrome forget that I was ever there, and give me a fresh page each time I go to it?
Solution 1:
This is how usually I do this:
- Open Chrome History ctrl+h.
- In the searchbox, top-right, type some keyword to identify the urls you want to delete; chrome will match the input against the url and the title of webpages in history.
- Double-check that you got only what you really want to delete.
- Select the checkbox left of the first result, then scroll down and check the latest checkbox while pressing shift. This will select everything (that was filtered with keywords above). Alternatively, just select what you want.
- Click the remove selected button.
Solution 2:
More precise in the urlbar (like shown here):
- Mark all the text in the urlbar of the unpopular history entry using End and then Shift + Pos1
- Then Shift + Delete
Tada!
If you work in the history and you have the extension Better History -> "Clear all from this site". This is pretty fast, if you have a lot of visits on the site.
