How to Prevent Google Chrome From Storing Browser History (Windows)

You can press Ctrl+Shift+Del buttons to open Clear browsing data and so that you can delete your history. But if you don't want history anymore or permanently then use the following tip.

In windows:

Open the following path

C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
 
where [username] is a folder having name as your username of windows
Then the directory named "Default" contains a file named "History", 
right click that file and select "properties". then on its general tab,
 at bottom you can see "Attributes" there check the box to select the "read-only" option. 
You have done.
