Default Clear Browser History

hey all, I'm thinking hard about picking up one of the Fires, but with the recent apps showing everything from apps to latest sites, I'm going to need a way to clear that content. At least the browser history. Don't need to be taking it to work and having co-workers see what my wife was looking up on the internet. Has anyone see how to clear the browser history?

Perfect! Just wanted to make sure that there was an option. Does it clear the websites from the recent activity section of the home screen?

In addition to clearing the history in the Settings menu, you can also clear all cookie data, clear cache, clear form data, and clear passwords.
