You can customize Google Chrome settings like change history deletion days, turn off suggestion bar, change download folder, enable pop-ups and lots more. Sometimes you may want to revert back to default Google Chrome settings and start afresh. For this you can use Reset feature in Google Chrome. Reset will revert and restore Google Chrome to original default state (as it was when you first installed on the computer).
History of ‘Reset’ feature in Google Chrome versions
For some reason, ‘reset’ button in Google Chrome was available for sometime and was removed in newer version. It was available in very old Google Chrome version (see last section of this article). Then it was removed in Google Chrome 10 and 11 – during which users had to use manual restore reset method involving deletion of profile folder (see middle section of the article). In latest version (29 and above), Reset button has been added again to Google Chrome browser.
Use Reset button to restore Chrome to default settings
Make sure you are using latest Google Chrome version 29 or above. To confirm on this, click Setting button and then click About Google Chrome option to check and auto update Chrome browser to latest version.
1. To use Reset feature, click on button at top right and then click Settings option. Scroll down to bottom of Google Chrome Settings page and then click Show Advanced Settings. Now scroll down further and look for ‘Reset Browser Settings’ section.
2. Here click on Reset Browser Settings button and then click on Reset button in the pop-up box. This will restore Google Chrome to its original defaults. It will make changes like: reset of homepage, new tab page and search engine. It will disable all extensions and unpin all tabs.
