CHAPTER 11: Surfing the Web

Speeding Up Your Browser by Clearing History and Cookies

In the middle of the Browser settings
screen, you can see a heading marked
Privacy settings. The Clear History, Clear
all Cookie data, and Clear Cache drop
down arrows are all next to the appropriate
item.
If you notice your web browsing getting
sluggish, it's probably a good time to clear
out all three of these by tapping them and
confirming your choices.
TIP: Clearing the history, cookies, and cache is also a good privacy measure, as it prevents
others from seeing where you've been browsing.

Remembering Form Data

As we showed you earlier in this chapter, remembering form data is a convenient way to
have your browser automatically fill out web page forms that ask for your name,
address, phone number, and even username and password. It can save you a
tremendous amount of time typing and retyping your name and other information.
To enable Remember form data, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Browser settings as
shown previously.
2. Scroll down to Privacy
settings.
3. Put a check mark in the
Remember form data box.
4. To remember all usernames
and passwords, scroll down to
Security settings.
5. Put a check mark in the
Remember passwords box.
