Have you ever wondered what Google Search really knows about you? Well, now you can check, as Google has added a new feature that lets you view and download your entire search history.
Yep. Everything.
The feature, which was spotted by the unofficial Google Operating System Blog — though VentureBeat points outthat the function was made available in January — gives you access to everything from what you searched for to the links you clicked on from those searches. It also shows you the addresses you’ve searched for.
I was even able to see the list of images I clicked on while searching for pictures of cats eating spaghetti. Now imagine what you’ve looked for. Oh, and clearing your browser history won’t delete this data.
But there’s no reason to panic, because in addition to being able to download your search history, you can clear it.
1. Navigate to Google’s Web and App Activity page.
2. Next, click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Then select Download from the drop-down menu. (Only if you want a copy)
You’ll then receive a pop-up window warning you not to download your search history to a public computer, as it contains a large amount of sensitive information...lmao
To delete the history
4. click the little "down arrow" next to the gear icon, then select "Remove Items", then select "From the Beginning of time"
Poof, supposedly all gone now....we'll never know for sure...lol

Thanks Hollywood! Sharing this.
This does not eliminate the massive data history that Google has accumulated - period.
They would not, and have not, provided a way for you to opt out. Multiple copies of the data they have collected from you are stored in multiple data storage centers in different continents around the world. You cannot get rid of it. They live for it, it is their life blood.
