Deleted history on google chrome and it still comes up on the url bar?

Q. I deleted my history on google chrome and I turned off the the suggestions on the url bar but the website that I tried to delete is still there, but it has a clock next to the url instead of an earth. How do I delete the url search history?

A. A. Disable the prediction service
--------------------------------------â¦
When you type in the address bar, Google Chrome can use a prediction service to help you complete the web addresses and search terms that you're entering The prediction service is typically turned on by default. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95656

1. Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux).
3. Click the Under the Hood tab.
4. In the "Privacy" section, deselect the "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" checkbox.

B. Pause your Web History (When you're signed in to a Google Account)
--------------------------------------â¦
If you're signed in to your Google Account and have Web History enabled, the algorithm may show some predicted queries based on searches that you've done in the past. http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=54057

1. Go to google.com/history.
2. Click Pause to prevent your future web activity from being saved in Web History and from being used to personalize your search results.

C. Clear browsing history
--------------------------------------â¦
I suggest to install History Eraser extension:

or more powerful Click&Clean app (automatically clear browsing history on Chrome exit, works on Chrome for Windows)

Is there a linux distro that will run most windows programs?
Q. I really like linux except for most of the programs i use won't work on it. Is there a linux version that will run Yahoo messenger 10, Itunes 9, Frostwire and google chrome? I really don't like pidgin because of the way i use messenger. I have had very little luck with wine.

A. In most cases there is a Linux version or an open source alternative

YAHOO MESSENGER

Try Pidgin again using the directions on configuration

Pidgin is Ubuntu's default instant messaging (IM) client, at least through 9.04, Jaunty Jackalope. It works for a wide range of protocols, including MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, IRC, IRQ and Gadu-Gadu

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages to the computer buyer when using one of the free?
Q. operating systems such as google chrome or linux rather than windows?

A. 1 If the computer already comes with Windows, there's no point in wiping it to install a free OS (although that is what I would do)

Pros:
It's free :)
There is a large and supportive community for some linux OSes (if you're willing to learn a little bit)
Linux is highly customizable
There is a lot of cool effects available for some GUI's
Most of the software is free open source alternatives to Windows software
Any one can modify the code of software to improve it
Little to no virus problems, I have no antivirus installed
Being made easier all teh time

Cons:
Can be difficult to migrate from windows
A lot of things are difficult to do (although constantly being made easier)
Some Windows software can be difficult to get working in linux
Software is open source so anyone can modify/look at the code (pro or con)
Difficult to choose a good distro
A lot of command line typing

All in all migrating to linux is a good strategy if you want to save a few hundred $ and are really willing to learn. If you want everything to just work the same then save yourself the anger and just pay out. If you really are willing to learn however there are many people who will help you get started with linux.
