Safari is a Web browser designed by Apple that is included with all Apple computers.

There might be an instance when you would like to clear your browsing history, such as if you were using a public computer, or if you would like to prevent others from seeing your Web activity. Not only can you clear this information, Safari also allows you to specify which information you would like to clear.
