As a tech blogger, I can tell you that there's a significant difference between clearing and deleting your browsing history. When you clear your browsing history, it removes all the records of your browsing activities from the browser's cache memory. This means those specific websites or searches won't appear in your browser's suggestions or autocomplete function when you're typing in the search bar. However, clearing the browsing history does not mean it's permanently deleted from your device.
On the other hand, deleting your browsing history permanently removes all the data from your device. This means that there is no way to retrieve them once they are deleted. When you delete your browsing history, it removes every trace of your online activities, including search history, cookies, and cache files.
In simple words, clearing your browsing history is a way of "hiding" your browsing history temporarily, while deleting it is a more secure way of removing your browsing data.
