I'm using chrome and I have everything to clear on application close.
Phil01 I just dont bother, I have no security software just windows own and it has only once detected a low risk tracking cookie.

Never had security software in over 4yrs,
Being honest what is the worse that can happen to me? A virus, then I will do a fresh install and that brings the laptop back up to speed and sometimes is long overdue.
Cant hack my bank account as I have a couple and only one is used for internet transactions, no money is ever in it, when I purchase online I only transfer a set sum to cover the costs.,
I mat be naive and ignorant to it all I suspect.
It's not just viruses though Phil...
Other malware can be installed without your knowledge, you could find your PC is part of some massive botnet contributing to cyber attacks or whatever...
just sayin'
as I said, a bit naive,
what harm would a botnet or cyber attack do to me or the lappy, if it is a real threat then I may rethink but up until now fingers crossed.
I did once buy a norton anti virus but in my opinion all that did was make me a target from norton to be hit with upgrades and annual subscriptions that popped up all the time, and it could be only installed to one pc, fine until my lappy was replaced under warranty

Is it just me that would rather receive ads targeted at things I'm interested in then?
Sure, its a bit big brother'ish, but in reality its all automated so its not like someone is sitting in a room going "ooh, Mr Johnson likes Redtube" or anything like that.

Those that realise ads are what makes half of the internet possible, be greatful you're getting something relevant - not ads for sanitary towels.
