Reset Browser Settings

Google Chrome gives you the option to reset your browser settings in one easy click. In some cases, programs that you install can change your Chrome settings without your knowledge. You may see additional extensions and tool bars or a different search engine. Resetting your browser settings will reset the unwanted changes caused by installing other programs. However, your saved bookmarks and passwords will not be cleared or changed. Settings that do change include:

• Default search engine and saved search engines will be reset and to their original defaults.
• Homepage button will be hidden and the URL that you previously set will be removed.
• Default start up tabs will be cleared. The browser will show a new tab when you startup or continue where you left off if you're on a Chromebook.
• New Tab page will be empty unless you have a version of Chrome with an extension that controls it. In that case your page may be preserved.
• Pinned tabs will be unpinned.
• Content settings will be cleared and reset to their installation defaults.
• Cookies and site data will be cleared.
• Extensions and themes will be disabled.

To reset the browsing settings:

1. In the top-right corner of the browser window, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu
2. Select Settings.
3. At the bottom, click Show advanced settings.
4. Under the section "Reset settings,” click Reset settings.
5. In the dialog that appears, click Reset.

Note: When the "Help make Google Chrome better by reporting the current settings" checkbox is selected you are anonymously sending Google your Chrome settings. Reporting these settings allows them to analyze trends and work to prevent future unwanted settings changes.
