We’ve reported recently about a new flag available in Edge Canary that lets you see Clear browsing data dialog’s new UI, the UI is now available and enabled by default in latest Microsoft Edge insider Canary build 76.0.172.0 and available behind the flag in the dev channel.
As you know, Microsoft Edge preserved and disabled some Google Services in their Chromium browser, the company has ported its simple and basic clear browsing data dialog design from legacy Edge to it’s Chromium counterpart.
Edge’s revamped Clear browsing data dialog UI
If now visit “Privacy and services” Settings, you’ll notice clear browsing data section has been updated to provide information. The section now displays more details and says clear browsing data UI “includes history, passwords, cookies and more” instead of vague “clear, cookes, history, passwords and more” and informs “only data from this profile will be deleted”.
To see the changes in action, update to latest Edge Canary build
1. Click on the ellipsis (…) button,
2. Choose Settings > Privacy and Services
3. Click on “Clear browsing data now” or “Choose what to clear”,
4. Choose the time range and history items you want to delete and click “clear now”, done.
Note: You can clear Edge browsing history for Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 4 weeks, and All time.
What’s your take on these improvements?
