All people are inherently very curious. Therefore, they are always very interested to know what others are doing at the personal computer. You can view your browsing history in several ways. It all depends on what exactly you need. You can see the history of browsing the Internet or track what kind of correspondence a person had, and so on. You can see what programs were running on the computer, what is the history of browsing sites.
Another situation may arise. For example, you read some interesting article on the Internet. You liked her, but you did not add her to your favorites. It was not possible to find this page again, especially if you came to it completely by accident. Here in such a situation, a viewing history is necessary. In it you can see a list of all visited Internet projects. In the browser, the browsing history includes the browser cache and cookies.
How to view deleted visit history
In order to find out the history of browsing sites, you can use a special program. For example: DiscDigger, Easy File Undelete, Recuva. After downloading and installing the program, you need to run and find a special file called Places, which has the sqlite extension. This is the story of watching Internet projects.
You need to know that if a user deleted such a list using specialized programs, then it will be very difficult to restore it. In this case, the browsing history will be lost forever.
To familiarize yourself with it in the browser, press the key combination Ctrl + H. The whole history is stored in the memory of a personal PC in the form of files. When you delete it, in other words, you delete certain files from the hard drive. You only need to know where they are located.
If the Explorer browser is used, then this file is located here: C: \ Users \ user \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows \ History
In the Firefox browser: C: \ Users \ user \ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \
In Google Chrome, the file is located here: C: \ Users \ user \ AppData \ Local \ Google \ Chrome \ User Data \ Default
Here it is necessary to replace the "user" in the name of the one whose story we need.
Another interesting program for viewing history
Consider another option with which you can see the story. To do this, you can use a program called Punto Switcher. This program has a very convenient function. It is called "Keeping a diary." It is there that everything that the user did on his PC is recorded. In order to have such access only for you, you can set a password on it. It must be remembered that this file must be cleaned periodically, otherwise the program may not work correctly.
How to delete site browsing history
Any browser installed on the computer keeps a history of visits and movements of users on the Internet. This happens by default and is viewable by anyone. If you need to delete these entries, the browser itself provides such an opportunity.
Let's see how to do this in the most popular browsers.
- If you need to clear the history in the Opera browser, you should follow these steps. Open the browser menu and find the "Settings" section. Here you need to select the option “Delete personal data”. In the settings window, the default settings are hidden. They need to be expanded by clicking on the link "Detailed settings". You need to check the box next to the item "Clearing the history of visited pages." You also need to look carefully so as not to remove something necessary.
- In Firefox, we do this. We find a section called "Tools", and there we will need the line "Settings". A new window will open, and in it we will need the “Privacy” tab. In it, click on "Clear immediately." Next, a window will open called “Delete Unnecessary Data”. In it, we check that there is a label on the item in the visit log. Select what you want to remove, and click on the "Delete" button.
- If you have Explorer installed, the story is called “Browsing History”. To get there, you need to find a section in the menu called “Service” and select the line “Delete Journal”. After that, a new window will open, and there we find "Delete History".
- In Google Chrome, you can do this: use the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Del. And you can do differently. We go to the "Tools" section and find the "Delete data on viewed documents" button. The browser deletes the story to a depth that you can specify yourself. This can be done in the drop-down list. Put a checkmark in the “Clear history” item and click on the delete button.
- If you use the Safari browser, then there is a separate section in it called the History. It is located in the browser menu.
