@Noralum Going via the History Tab is the slow way. Use the shortcut for Delete Private Data (default = Ctrl+Shift+Delete) to go directly to the Delete Browsing Data dialog. Ctrl+A then Delete in the History Panel is best to clear only the browsing history.

@zook They only shortcut you really need to remember is "Ctrl + F1" this opens the keyboard-cheat-sheet which shows you all shortcuts and includes a search function

Also key DEL could work.
