Web browsers contain a built-in process storing every website you visit in a file on your hard drive. There are pluses and minuses to such storage. It gives you quicker access to a website if you return a second or third time by loading the contents of a Web page from your hard drive rather than the website. But, it also is a source for other people to find out where you go online.

Click “History.” You will see a library of websites visited that has been organized according to "month," "2 weeks," "last 7 days" and "day." If you don’t want others to view your Internet history, you have the option to delete the entries for each library category.
