Need to erase your browsing data? Knowing how to clear your browser history will protect your privacy by preventing others from discovering the sites that you visit. This tutorial will show how to clear your browser’s history, cache, passwords, and cookies.

Devices running the new BB OS 6 get the new, beautiful webkit browser. The new browser makes viewing the web much more enjoyable. The more one uses the web, the more important it becomes to protect privacy as well.

Here is how to clear your BB browser’s history and cover your tracks:

1. Open the Browser
2. Press the BlackBerry Menu button
3. Select Options
4. Scroll to the bottom of the menu to the Clear Browsing Data section
5. Check what you would like to clear from Passwords, History, Cookies, Cache, and/or Pushed Content

Clearing history and cache should be enough to keep casual viewers of your BB phone from viewing your previously visited web sites.

6. Press the Clear Now button and you see a Cleaning Memory box appear while the information is being removed.

Your viewing history on your BlackBerry should now be gone.

   And now go back back back on your browser and you see that everything is still there.

   Even better, click on recent pages and it STILL shows you everything!!

   This is the only flaw the Blackberry has… it is not discrete at all!!

   And when you do a general search from the main screen, the history is still there.

   I read somewhere that you will need to do a battery pull to remove from global search!

   I did some research and it can normally be cleared by doing a battery pull after clearing the history. This will stop it showing up in universal search.

   Another method is to go into the universal search settings and uncheck Browser History so that it just does not appear there altogether.
   I’ve tried it and it seems to work!!!!!!!!!!!!
