Clearing browsing history in both Chrome and Edge at once?

I use both browsers on a shared family PC. Is there one place to wipe everything, or do I have to do each one separately? Also want cookies gone.

If you're signed into Chrome with sync on, clearing history there clears it on your phone and every other synced device too. Worth knowing before you hit All time. For stuff you don't want saved in the first place, Ctrl+Shift+N opens a private window in either browser and nothing is kept after you close it.

No single place, they keep separate data. But it's quick in each: Ctrl+Shift+Delete opens the clear data window in both Chrome and Edge. Set the time range to All time, tick history, cookies and cached files, clear. On a shared PC it's easier to set it once and forget it. Edge has an option under Privacy to clear browsing data every time you close the browser, and Chrome can delete site data on close under its cookie settings. Bear in mind wiping cookies logs everyone out of every site, so if other family members use the same browser they'll be signed out too. Separate Windows user accounts for each person is the cleaner fix.
