22. Could you delete the Chrome browser and then reinstall it?

I'll preface this by saying I am not a Android user.

If you don't have many bookmarks, personal settings, etc. you could just delete it and reinstall - which probably will delete the dictionary. If you have lots of bookmarks you should be able to export them and reimport them and then reinstall (don't ask me how though).

If your browser is synced across devices, that idea may not work. But maybe you could edit the dictionary on a synced computer and the change will update your mobile device. (Once again not sure how Android integration works.)

Or if you don't have any devices synced, you might even try syncing them just to edit the dictionary on a computer and then disabling the sync feature when finished if that is your preference. (Not sure what things actually would be synced.)


They told me computers were going to save me time...
