  • Patent number: 10394924
    Abstract: Deletion of synchronized web browsing history is enabled. A deletion filter record that specifies synchronized web browsing history to be deleted is received from a first client. The deletion filter record is stored in association with an identifier of the first client. A check-in message is received from a second client. Responsive to the check-in message, a determination is made that the stored deletion filter record is relevant to the second client. The stored deletion filter record is sent to the second client. Separately, a client's communications to a server are limited. A request is received to communicate with the server. A throttling policy is accessed. The throttling policy includes multiple ordered policy sections. A policy section indicates that all messages sent from the client to the server, up to the number of messages, must be separated by at least the time period.
