An easy way to clean your Browsers History
Just use the keyboard short cut for any browser Control+Shift+DEL
Here's what happens in Firefox when you use that keyboard short cut:

Deleting a Gmail Account
Open the email account you want to delete the do the following:

That gets you to:

Now, scroll all the way down to the last item in Account management:

Answer any requests like are you sure? etc and that account will be history.
(I can't tell you exactly what the prompt are since I don't want to erase my account.)
You'll need to repeat this for each gmail account you want to delete.

Bob,

Your little tip at the top did make a difference in Chrome speed.

I might prefer Firefox but I still use Chrome. Both are excellent browsers.
Dell Inspiron, Win10x64--HP Envy Win10x64--Both systems Avast Free v17.9.2322, Comodo Firewall v8.2 w/D+, MalwareBytes v3.0, OpenDNS, Super Anti-Spyware, Spyware Blaster, MCShield, Unchecky, Vivaldi Browser and, various browser security tools.

Same here. I actually use FF, Chrome and IE on occasion. :)

Bob, in your opinion the fastest browser is ? Thinking of trying FF. Was reading something today that indicated FF was, of course it depends who is saying this. Did a quick test with IE and Chrome opening various webpages. On some IE was quicker, on some about the same, in no instances was Chrome quicker. Very unscientific and crude testing though. Probably for 2/10 of a second though it doesn't really matter.

Speed also depends on how much overhead all those extension use. Sometimes a little extra time is OK if it's associated with extra safety.
I use mainly Chrome but lately have also used FF a lot so it depends on what I need to do that determines which browser I use.
Time isn't everything and the older you get, the more you tend to realize that little fact.
IE is pretty fast but, on my system, there are very few addons. Chrome has the most addons so it tends to be just a bit slower than FF.
To be fair, Chrome also has the most capabilities due to all those addons. :)

We all know that the search function of this site leaves a lot to be desired.
Why not use the search function of your browser to search this or any other site ???
Simply type this into the search or address bar of your browser:
site:https://forum.avast.com/ search parameter goes here

Here's an example of how it's used:
