To permanently remove browsing history, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and click on the menu icon, usually represented by three vertical dots or lines, located at the top-right corner of the browser window.

2. In the menu, look for the option that says “Settings” or “Options” and click on it. This will open the browser settings page.

3. On the settings page, look for the section related to privacy or browsing data. The exact location and wording may vary depending on the browser you are using.

4. Once you find the privacy or browsing data section, you should see an option to clear your browsing history. Click on that option.

5. A new window or dialog box will appear, allowing you to customize what you want to delete. To permanently remove your browsing history, make sure the option to delete all history is selected.

6. You may also have the option to choose a time range for deletion. If you want to clear everything, select “All time” or a similar option.

7. Additionally, you may have the option to delete other types of data such as cookies, cached files, and saved passwords. If you want to remove these as well, make sure the respective options are selected.

8. click on the “Clear” or “Delete” button to permanently remove your browsing history.

It’s important to note that clearing your browsing history using these steps will remove the history from your local device. However, it does not guarantee that the history is completely erased from the internet or from any servers that may have stored the data. There may still be ways for your browsing history to be accessed or retrieved by others.

In my personal experience, clearing browsing history has been a useful way to maintain privacy and keep my online activities confidential. Whether it’s to remove traces of sensitive information or simply to start with a clean slate, being able to permanently delete browsing history gives me peace of mind.

To summarize, you can permanently remove browsing history by accessing your browser settings, finding the privacy or browsing data section, selecting the option to clear all history, and clicking on the appropriate button to delete the data. However, keep in mind that this may not completely erase your history from the internet or other servers.
