But you may copy and paste a link from a different location, or click a link from another page, only to realize that you inadvertently opened it in regular browsing mode.

Fortunately you can also delete individual pages from your history in Chrome, allowing you to keep the pages from your history that you want, while deleting those pages that you don’t want.
