Confidentiality and privacy while surfing the Internet sometimes need to be temporarily strengthened, for example, when the work is not done from a personal computer. In modern browsers, you do not need to install any add-ons to ensure the necessary privacy settings, since all the necessary functions for optional changing the privacy level are present in the browsers themselves, incl. at the Opera.
Instructions
Step 1
Use one-time clear history if you need to clear history for one session. The same effect will be given by enabling incognito mode for one session or temporarily disabling history storage. You can change this setting through the Opera's main settings dialog box on the advanced settings tab, the "History" menu item. This will allow you to leave all those links in the history that existed before the start of the session with the browser with disabled saving of visited pages.
Step 2
Activate the complete deactivation of saving the list of visited pages if you want to completely deactivate the logging in the browser. Open the Opera browser settings dialog box via the main menu button or by pressing the Ctrl + F12 key combination. Switch to the tab with the list of advanced settings and select the "History" menu item on the left. First, click the "Clear" button to delete existing entries in the history log, then uncheck the "Remember the contents of visited pages" box so that the cache with information about visited addresses was deleted, and set the value of the "Remember addresses" parameter to zero by choosing the option you want from the list. Then apply the settings by clicking OK.
Step 3
Use the sidebar and menu with quick access to settings if the button with the main menu is not available. Call the context menu on the log icon, select the "Store history" item, click on the "0 positions" sub-item. The effect is the same, only existing records are not deleted and the cache with loaded pages from the log is not cleared. This method is suitable for the case when you just want to turn off the history storage, without destroying the previously saved lists of visited pages.
