Simply enter the URL "chrome://history" into your search bar in Google Chrome and then click the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner.2. Select "Clear browsing data" from the menu.3. In the next window, check the boxes next to the data that you'd like to clear. Click the blue "Clear data" button.Delete unneeded extensionsFrom Adblock to Honey, extensions can certainly enhance the browsing experience. However, too many extensions can have the opposite effect and slow down your browser.Disable extensions when you don't need them, and as Marie Kondo would say, delete the ones that no longer spark joy.1. Simply paste "chrome://extensions" in your search bar in Google Chrome to see and manage your extensions.2. You can delete an extension by clicking the "Remove" button. You can remove an extension by clicking the toggle to the right of an extension so that it turns white.Add download speed extensionsAlthough some extensions can slow Chrome down, others are specifically aimed at improving your browser's speed.For example, the OneTab extension converts all of your open tabs into a list, saving space and keeping your computer from running slowly when you have many tabs open. You can simply reopen tabs individually, or all at once, in the list.For those who have tabs constantly accumulating, extensions can be crucial. These extensions can pause tabs without closing them, freeing up Chrome's bandwidth.Update ChromeOne of the best things you can do is to keep Chrome up-to-date.Chrome will automatically download and install updates for you, but only when it isn't open.Product Embed: Product Name: Lenovo IdeaPad 130 Card Type: small https://produktor.businessinsider.com/productCardService'id=5dd83bd0fd9db23c6131fb54&type=small&live=true Width: 100% Height: 150%Product Embed: Product Name: Apple Macbook Pro 13-Inch Display with Touch Bar Card Type: small https://produktor.businessinsider.com/productCardService'id=5d24b242a17d6c09cf06abe8&type=small&live=true Width: 100% Height: 150%Related coverage from How To Do Everything: Tech:How to go into 'Incognito Mode' on a Google Chrome browser, and stop Google from saving your search and browsing historyHow to update the Adobe Flash Player in your Google Chrome browser, or reinstall it if it's corruptedHow to clear your browsing history on Google Chrome, either all at once or site-by-siteHow to change your homepage on a Google Chrome browser for Mac or PCHow to enable the Flash Player on Google Chrome, to view videos and other media across the internet
