Everytime you visit a website, its images and records are stored on your computer as a part of internet history. In Google Chrome, you can easily view and delete history date-wise or complete listing. Manually deleting internet history at start or close browsing session can be boring and time consuming. You can get automated using auto clear history option in Google Chrome.

the UNDER THE HOOD tab of my browser doesn’t have CONTENT SETTING tab!
this feature DOES NOT actually work. it remembers the sites you have visited unless you go in and manually delete them.
This clears cookies, but not history. When I close my browser and re-open it, it still shows all the websites I visited.
This doesn’t actually work though. It will clear cookies, but not your history.
This could stand to be updated, because on 4.0 I see no Content Settings button on the “Under the hood” tab. :(
