jojotjuh Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 When browsing a site (say; youtube) and using their search engine to look for a video, or when browsing Facebook, and looking for a friend, or any other site with a search engine, google chrome will automatically add the search engine to the custom search engines list. However, this is a privacy threat as one can use this list to look at sites the user has gone to. CCleaner does not clean this list. Is it possible for you to add this list to be cleaned? Thank you.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2011 google chrome will automatically wow one more reason for me to dislike chrome (thinks about the pr0n sites that would clog up his chrome, in an all chrome world) do you know if chrome will differentiate between Automatically added search engines and ones you want (i.e. manually added ones) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Alan_B Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 If there is concern about privacy issues and the solution is to uncheck a suggestion service, it may be sensible to run and search with it unchecked, and then check the box and see if it now suggests what you have just searched for. Google may still remember everything regardless of what is unchecked, and a suspicious wife / mother-in-law may be able to check the box and immediately see where you have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
