When you are browsing the Internet with Google Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge or Brave, if you go to the address bar (known as omnibar) to type something for your next Internet search or destination, you will see that it will suggest words or phrases. And you know that many times he is right.
If you want to know what your Chromium-based browser knows about you and your interests when you “wander” the internet, there is a setting available that gives you the ability to look at what the browser knows about you. To do this, when you are using Chrome you must put this in the address bar:
chrome: // omnibox /
This varies for other browsers that are based on Chromium. Thus, if your header browser is Microsoft’s Edge what you must write in the omnibar is the following:
edge: // omnibox /
If you use Brave you will find this setting at this URL:
brave: // omnibox /
After this, you will see that you will access a search box with different settings and options. Even if you have your browser configured in Spanish, this function is in English.
What information are you going to see
At the top left you have a search box. He begins to write there and information appears, which is based on your search and browsing history, also on search results that you have been receiving and in your bookmarks.
And for example, if you start to write a URL that you visit often, the browser will show you many more details, such as when was the last time you visited it and how often. In addition, the browser has memory and can show you this information for a long time.
You can also see the relevance that a word or phrase has in your searches, it shows you the results of your search and other suggestions autocompleted by Google that are also of importance to us. For example, if I search for Genbeta, It also shows me other related searches of my interest such as Genbeta Dev, Genbeta Windows 11 o Genbeta courses. This comes from the hand of the URLs that Google (in the case of Chrome) has shown me.
