Google Chrome has now made it easier to find and delete your browsing history on your iphone or ipad. Open the Chrome app, tap the three dots at the top right, then tap History to see a list of all the web pages you’ve visited. Tap Clear Browsing Data at the bottom left.

To selectivel­y delete some of your browsing data, tap Edit at the bottom right. You’ll now see tick boxes beside the web pages you’ve visited. Tap to select the ones you want to remove, tap Delete at the bottom, then Finished at the top right (see screenshot below). see a list of relevant topics (such as Entertainm­ent Top Stories and TV News). Tap the star icons besides those you want to keep track of (see screenshot, right). You can use the search bar at the top to find a topic you follow (such as Brexit), then tap the ‘+’ icon beside the correct autosugges­t option. When you’ve made your selection, tap Done at the top right.

By default, the Windows battery icon on your laptop doesn’t display how much battery charge you have remaining unless you move your cursor to it. Battery Bar is a free tool that adds a new icon displaying this as a percentage. To install it, go to www.snipca.com/ 21910, scroll to the bottom of the page, click the Try Basic Version button, then run the downloaded setup file.

You’ll now see a green battery icon near your taskbar’s notificati­on area indicating your laptop’s battery charge. Click this icon to see how much longer your laptop’s battery will last (in hours and minutes), and hover your cursor over the icon to see other useful info (see screenshot above).

The Pro version of the program has more features, which are listed on its website (see URL above). To try this version, right-click the battery icon, then click ‘Activate 30 day trial’. After 30 days, you’ll need to pay $8 (around £6) to continue using these features or revert to the free version.
