If you have the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge and like to keep things tidy and private, there's an option to clear any, or all data you want each time you close the browser. Here's how.




You can jump right to the Clear browsing data options by typing in edge://settings/clearBrowserDataOnExit in the search bar.

Otherwise:

Click on the three dots in the top right corner to access Settings.

Click on Privacy & Services.

Click the arrow next to Choose what to clear every time you close the browser.



By default, all options are turned off. You can clear any of the following when the browser closes by toggling the switch next to each option.

Browsing history

Download history

Cookies and other site data

Cached image and files

Passwords

Autofill form data

Site permissions

Hosted app data

Older version of Microsoft Edge also offer this option, and while easy to find, there are fewer options available. The 77.x builds improved upon this feature.
