Google just made it much easier to quickly clear your recent browsing history when using Chrome. All you have to do is click the three dots in the top-right corner of your Chrome browser and tap "clear browsing data." This will delete the previous 15 minutes of your browsing activity. The new tool is only available on Android for now.
