Computers> Internet> How do I see which sites have been visited?
1 Are you interested in what sites your child visited while on the Internet? Or maybe you want to delete from the browser memory the sites that you yourself were on? Use your visit log.
Today, any browser has the function of recording the addresses of the visited Internet resources in the visit log. So in order to view this log, you need to:
2Open the browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, Opera, Apple Safari, Google Chrome).
Several browsers can be installed on a computer at the same time, and each can be used from time to time.
So, if you do not know with the help of which browser the resources you are interested in were visited, you will have to view the browsing history in all browsers.
3Find the history of site visits, and for this you will need to perform a number of simple steps:
If we are dealing with Internet Explorer, you need to use the "hot" keys CTRL + H. After clicking, a side window will open where you can view the history.
4If you are using the Opera browser, the same "hot" keys will help you, or you can enter the "History" item through the Main Menu.
With the Mozilla FireFox browser, things are a little more complicated. In the menu, select the section called "Journal", then click on the item "Show entire journal", then select "Collection". This is where you can view and edit the records of visits.
5The Apple Safari browser gives you access to History directly from the menu at the top of the window. True, this setting may be disabled on your computer. Then you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + H or click in the upper right corner of the browser on the icon with the image of a gear.
As for the Google Chrome browser, everything is simple: you can use the same keyboard shortcut or click on the wrench icon located in the upper right corner of your browser. After that, in the drop-down list, select the "History" item.

Browser history is a place in a program where all the Internet pages that you open on your computer are recorded.
Viewing history in Yandex is very simple: you just need to click on the button with three horizontal lines (top right), select History and again History.
A list of all the pages you have visited will be shown. Here you can also delete them by clicking on "Clear history" on the right.
A small window will appear with three check marks. At the top of it from the list, you can select the period of time for which you want to delete the records.
Actually, if you understand everything here, you can just click on the "Clear history" button. But for the curious, I will nevertheless explain what is hidden behind each item :)
Download history. The records about those files that you downloaded from the Internet are erased (but not the files themselves!).
By the way, they are, by default, "folded" into a computer folder called "Downloads". If you want to hide them, don't forget to clean this folder too.
Files saved in the cache. The cache is such a special browser storage, where data goes, which can make it possible to speed up work with certain sites.
For example, the site is replete with various visual elements (animation, pictures, etc.). When you open it, the browser has to download a lot of files in order to show these elements. And if you go there often, this procedure will cause a number of difficulties: the amount of data to download can be large, and this is an additional waste of time and traffic.
The cache was created in order to avoid such situations and speed up the browser.
But if this storage is full, then the program, on the contrary, will start to work slower (slow down). Clearing the cache solves this problem.
Cookies and other data from sites and modules. Thanks to "cookies", you automatically enter some sites: in your mail, pages in social networks etc. If you check this box and clear the history in the Yandex browser, then this data will be erased. This means that you will not be able to enter your personal space on this or that site if you do not enter your username and password.
After such a cleaning, many novice users cannot get into their mailbox or page in Odnoklassniki - they simply do not know their logins and passwords. Like this in a simple way many lose access to them forever. Therefore, before deleting cookies you must make sure to remember all logins / passwords from your pages.
Leaving cookies is dangerous in some situations. After all, if another person uses your computer, he will have full access to all personal accounts... This means he can read all your correspondence.
Passwords. If you check this box, all passwords that Yandex Browser remembers will be deleted.
In the event that other people have access to your computer, it is better not to save this data in the browser at all, or at least use trusted password storage programs such as LastPass.
Autocomplete and form data. When you fill out a form somewhere on the site (indicate name, surname, phone number, etc.), Yandex remembers this data. The next time you fill out such forms, he will offer to select them from the list. This is useful when you have to enter the same information frequently.
Summary: when clearing history, the first three items (where there are already checkmarks) are mandatory and completely safe. Other data should be deleted only if you remember all your logins / passwords (from mail, pages in social networks, etc.).
Hotkeys. For those who like to be fast, there is a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Delete
Press the keyboard key Ctrl, without releasing it, Shift and, without releasing both of these buttons, Delete (del). Immediately after that, a window for clearing the log will appear.
Through the menu. If, on the contrary, you do not like hotkeys, then this window can also be called through the browser menu: - Additional - Clear history.
Let's say you suspect that while you are away, your computer may be subjected to a thorough analysis. For example, the wife realizes that instead of donating to orphanages and cat shelters, half of her salary goes to dating sites.
Then you should clean up individual entries - after all, if you delete everything, it may look suspicious.
2. In the list, move the cursor to the unwanted site. A small arrow appears on the right side. Click on it and select the "Remove from history" item.
You can also select "More from the same site" and find other pages to delete them all at once.
If there are a lot of pages to delete, you can use the bulk method to erase them.
1. Hover the cursor over the page. Instead of its icon, an empty window appears on the left - click on it.
2. In this way, we mark all the pages that need to be removed, and click on the inscription "Remove selected items" (above).
It happens that you need to find and delete some page that was opened a long time ago. Then iterating over sites manually can be a very long and tedious task. Yes, and it's not a fact that you can find this page at all.
For this, Yandex has a special search function. In the upper right corner, above the list of visited sites, there is a field “Search in history”. You need to enter some keyword into it.
For example, if we are looking for a site about fishing, then we enter the word "fishing", "bream", etc. in the field. Then all pages with this word in the title will appear in the search results.
You can also search for the site address, if you remember it. To do this, type in the field its name in whole or in part and press the Enter key on the keyboard.
If you have to delete history often, and it is too tedious for you, then Yandex Browser has a mode in which history is not saved at all.
You can start it with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + N or through the menu: - Incognito mode.
A new program window will open. It will be dark gray and look something like this:
It is through this window that you need to open sites so that they do not end up in the view log. To exit this mode, you just need to close this window.
A link to the site helps to always return to the desired Internet resource. But what if you forgot to bookmark the address of the visited site, but now there is a need to visit this resource again? Each browser maintains a browsing history, which stores a record of previously visited web pages.
You will need the computer from which you last visited the site.
Instructions
1.If you are using the Google Chrome browser, then in order to view the records of visited sites, first you need to click in the upper right corner of the screen on the image in the form of a wrench. A list will open in which you need to select the "History" item.
To speed up the process of finding the website you need, use search bar at the top of the page. To do this, you need to enter one or more words from the description or title of the site page.
2. If you need to access the web pages visited in Internet Explorer, then you should click on the star located in the upper right corner of the screen between the images of the house and the gear. A window will appear in which you need to select the "Journal" tab.
To find a webpage viewed on a specific day, you need to select the line "View by date" from the list with an arrow at the top of the history module. Then click on the desired date and find the one you are interested in in the list of visited pages.
If you want to find out the address of a section of a certain website and a list of queries in a search engine, you should follow the same list select the item "View by node"... After that, find the required address in the list of visited pages and, after viewing all the pages of this website, go to the page you need.
To find a page that you recently viewed, you need to open a list of ways to locate your search history, then click on the entry "View by visit order"... There you will find the resource you need.

Then, in a special field, enter a word or phrase in the desired language, and click the "Start Search" button. At the end of the process of finding matches in the list of visited addresses, click on the required entry.
3. To find the visited website in Mozilla Firefox browser first, you need to click on the orange rectangle with an arrow where the Firefox label is located. After that, move the cursor over the "Journal" entry, which is located in the list that opens, and select "Show entire journal".
After that, in the window that appears, click on the date you need from the list shown and select the page of interest. To find a site by name and description, you need to enter in the search form, which is in the upper right part of the module, the corresponding word or phrase, and go to the found page.

Social buttons:
Want to see which sites you've visited in the last week, month, year, or more? Or maybe you want to know what virtual pages another person has viewed on your or even on his computer. Perhaps you are the head of a company and want to know what exactly your employees are doing on the Internet during working hours? The browser will help you with this, which stores the history of visits to sites.
The visit log will be able to tell you a lot: what queries the user has driven into the search engines, which pages he honored with his presence on a particular site.
Also, the journal will tell you about the dates and times of your visit and quickly move you to where you were or whoever was logged on to the Internet on this computer.
For example, let's take one of the latest versions of Internet Explorer 8, in other versions everything is approximately the same.
The journal, which records the history of site visits, can be opened by clicking on the "Favorites" tool. It is located in the upper left corner (if you have not changed the standard arrangement of the tools) and has a yellow star. There you will see three tabs: the "Favorites" itself is a list of sites that you have added to your bookmarks, "Channels" is a list of RRS channels or web channels that you use (if you use), and the third tab is the "Journal" we are looking for ...
Everything is simple here: you see a list of periods, for example "Monday" or "today". If you click on these names, then you will see the whole story during this time. To close a branch with a history for a certain period of time, click on its name again.
To see which pages were visited on a particular site, find this site in the list, click on it with the mouse, and a list of pages that have been viewed on this resource will appear under it. By clicking on one of the pages, you can immediately move to it.
As you can see, the tree menu is very similar to how a regular Windows Explorer works.
The window with the favorites control center, including the history, you can remove from the visible area of the browser, or, on the contrary, you can pin it. To do this, click on the box with a green arrow in the upper right corner of the favorites window, and if you no longer need it, just close it by clicking on the cross in the same place.
Let's see how you can restore the picture of website traffic in Opera using version 12.15 as an example. You need to go to the main menu (the very first button in the upper left corner called Opera) and find "History" there, after which the journal will open in our separate tab. Everything here is very similar to the magazine in Explorer - a similar tree-like menu consisting of time periods, when selected, you can see which sites the user visited and which pages they viewed.
If you plan to enter the attendance log often, you can add it to the side toolbar on the left. By the way, it is very convenient, as well as making a passport via the Internet. There are two ways to add a magazine to the sidebar:
If you no longer need the story, just close the tab, to open it again, click on the "clock" in the side panel. There is another convenient function: you can make it so that the journal will be displayed in a separate area on the left, and the page on which you click in the journal will open on the right. If you have already found what you were looking for in it, do not close the entire tab, but simply click again on the clock icon, then the magazine will close, and the page that was found with it will remain in front of you.
Remember to periodically clean the history log that takes up space on your hard drive.
If you view another person’s history of visiting sites without their knowledge, you will probably agree that it’s like peeping through a keyhole. Remember that everyone has the right to privacy and confidentiality.
Your computer is watching you! All your movements on sites and pages on the Internet are recorded and saved in the operating system! Sounds like a paranoid speech, doesn't it ?! But it is - each of the installed web browsers maintains a thorough history of visits to sites, watched online videos, as well as downloaded on HDD files. True, this is done rather for the convenience of the user himself, rather than for spying on him. Imagine, you closed a tab with some interesting page, after a couple of days it was needed again, but you forgot its address. To find it, you just need to look at the history of the browser sites you are using. Consider the most popular Internet browsers.
Another submenu will open, which will display the most recently viewed and recently closed pages on the Internet.
If you need more detailed information or you want to look further in time what and when it was - click in the submenu on the item "History". This window will open:
Everything will be detailed here and in time. To clear the history in Chrome, you need to open it and click on the icon in the form of three horizontal dashes in the upper right corner. This menu will appear:
We click on the line "Clear history" and we get this window:
Here it is necessary to tick off the lines "Browsing history", you can also delete data on downloads. Next, you need to select the time period for which the information will be deleted. Click on the "Clear History" button in Chrome and the entire history will be erased!
To view the history of sites in the Firefox browser, you need to open the main menu of the application:
Click on the "Journal" icon and a small list of recent visits will open:
To see a more detailed story in Mozilla Firefox, click on the "Show entire log" link at the bottom of this list.
In order to clear the history of the Firefox Internet browser, you need to click on the corresponding item in the History menu. A window like this will appear:
We select a period of time for which the list of visits to browser sites will be cleared, put a check mark on the necessary logs and click on the "Delete now" button.
In the good old "donkey" Internet Explorer history you just can't find a browser. First, you need to open "Favorites" by clicking on the star-shaped icon in the upper right corner of the main program window:
In the menu that appears, go to the "Journal" tab - that's where it is !!! As you can see, the information here is sorted by time for the convenience of finding information.
In order to clear the history in Internet Explorer, you need to open the browser settings menu and select the "Security" section:
A submenu will open in which you need to select the line "Delete log".
In Windows 10, Microsoft ditched the "old" Internet Explorer, which is already obsolete today, and switched to the new faster and smarter browser Edge. Here you can view the history of browsing sites on the Internet by opening the main menu and selecting the "Journal" section (the icon in the form of a clock):
To delete this information, click on the "Clear all logs" link at the very beginning of the menu:
We click on the "Clear" button and all information will be deleted.
In the Opera browser, you need to open the main menu of the application:
One of the items in it will be "History". We select it and find ourselves in this window:
All statistics of visits to sites by the user will be shown here.
To erase this data, you need to click on the "Clear history" button:
A window like this will appear:
We choose the time and put a tick on the data that needs to be deleted. Press the button "Clear browsing history" and Opera will quickly erase all statistics.
Clearing the browsing history in Yandex Browser is done one-to-one, as in Google Chrome (of course, there is only one platform!). In the main menu of the browser, we find the corresponding item:
Alternatively, you can press the key combination Ctrl + H. A window will appear with the log of the sites that the user has opened:
To clear it and delete data in the upper right corner of the window there will be a button "Clear history":
Then you need to tick the data that you want to erase:
Press the button "Clear".
Do not forget about the users of Apple devices - MAC-beeches, iPhones and iPads. Despite the fact that this is a completely different platform, the sequence of actions to delete browser history in Safari is practically the same as in Windows. The first step is to open the main menu of the application:
Select the "History" item and a list of sites visited by the user will open:
To succeed in the story in Safari, you will need to open the main menu again, but now select the "Reset Safari" item:
A small window will open, in which we check the boxes "Clear history", "Reset Top Sites" and "Clear downloads window":
It remains only to click on the "Reset" button and the visit history in Apple Safari will be reset!
All modern browsers support the function of saving the history of visits to sites by the user in the visit log. It is active by default and collects data on the Internet resources that you have visited on a daily basis. In this article I will tell you how to find out the history of visits to sites, as well as how to clear it.
This feature has both positive and negative aspects.
Positive:
Negative:
In order to find out and see what sites were visited on the computer, you need to go to the browser and use the key combination Ctrl + H.
Despite the fact that all browsers are different, they are the same in hotkey combinations. Standards no matter how. So it doesn't matter if you use Opera, Google Chrome, Yandex browser, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer, this method will work.
If for some reason you cannot press Ctrl + H. Well, let's say you were gouging the ketchup out from under the keyboard and accidentally knocked out the "H" key. Well, could this happen, in theory? Then you should go to your browser settings and click "History".
Screenshot from Google Chrome:
In Opera, Firefox, Yandex browser, you should follow the analogy. In some cases, the option "Journal" instead of "History" is possible.
For Internet Explorer, the technology is slightly different. You need to click on the asterisk, which is in the browser navigation (mine is in the upper right corner).
Logs in different browsers are similar to each other and allow you to view the history of visited sites depending on the day, week, month. In Chrome, for example, the following are available:
For convenience, the magazine has a search field that can be used to find the page of interest.
If you are not happy that someone can invade your privacy in this way, then you can take action - delete the history of visits to sites from the history of visits in the browser.
In order to do this, you need to go to the history of visits (Ctrl + H) and click "Clear history of visits".
In the pop-up window, you should select the time for which you want to clear, as well as specify the elements:
In order to clear the browsing history of sites in IE, you need to go to the settings and click "Browser options".
In the "General" tab, find "Delete ...".
Confirm the operation by pressing the "Delete" button again in the window that opens.
I hope this article helped you figure out how to view your browsing history, as well as clear the log.
How can you recover or view deleted browser histories in Windows 7 if, for example, you need to find out which sites your children visit? The answer to this question depends on how tech-savvy your kids are. If they know how to use features like Internet Explorer InPrivate Browsing or Google Chrome Incognito Mode, then their browsing history will never be saved.
THE EASIEST WAY
A slightly simpler option would be to use services like OpenDNS to capture web access logs for you. It also offers users a rather sophisticated function. parental control.
FAST WAY, BROWSER DEPENDENT
But there is one quick way(browser independent) - By looking at the DNS cache. To do this, open a command prompt window (search for cmd from the start menu), type “ipconfig / displaydns” and hit enter. This will get a list of all internet sites visited from your computer. Please be aware that this does not only apply to web pages visited through a direct link, but also to any content that was accessed from such pages. This may include questionable advertisements that have been posted on seemingly innocent pages, so be careful before making any accusations. Directly accessed web pages usually begin with “www”.
But this is not yet a guarantee of success. Even pages accessed in private browsing mode will show up in the DNS cache. But a truly tech-savvy person certainly knows that entering the command “ipconfig / flushdns” will erase all such stored information.
USING A BROADBAND ROUTER
There is a more reliable, but technically more sophisticated, way to monitor network usage. You need to configure your broadband router to keep your own logs using SysLog. This will allow you to keep your own browsing history records from all computers on your network, and they cannot be deleted without administrative access to the router. Almost all routers have a SysLog function, although its application requires in-depth technical knowledge, and availability and capabilities vary depending on the router model. In any case, it's worth checking what features your router has to see if it offers parental controls and data logging.
Recently, I was wandering around the Internet and came across one very curious question from a female person on one of the forums. The thing is, her boyfriend cleans the history in the browser. And this fact worries her. She was interested in whether it is possible to restore the deleted history of visiting sites in the browser, and if so, how?
By the way, she is not alone in this matter, there are a lot of such people. Someone wants to spy on a child, someone for a husband or wife, and someone just foolishly deleted the history of visits and now wants to watch it again.
After going back to the internet, I found some tips. These include System Restore and the use of index.dat files to recreate the history.
I want to disappoint you, they both don't work.
The index.dat files containing the history of visited sites, after being cleared by the user, become completely useless.
And only narrow-minded people can advise using System Restore in order to get back the visit log files. Yes, these should be burned at the stake ... heretics.
Firstly, in order to use this method, you need to create a restore point in the interval between the time your object finished browsing the sites and immediately the moment when he cleared the history of visits. As you can imagine, it is very problematic to take the computer away from him at this very moment.
And even if you succeeded, the system restore would still not give results, since it is intended to solve problems with system files, in the event of a malfunction.
So, give up this venture. Computer like mobile phone- this is a person's personal space, which should not be violated.
Good day.
It turns out that not all users know that by default any browser remembers the history of the pages you visit. And even if several weeks, or maybe months have passed, by opening the browser log of visits, you can find the coveted page (unless, of course, you have cleared the history of visits ...).
In general, this option is quite useful: you can find a previously visited site (if you forgot to add it to your favorites), or see what other users are interested in sitting at this PC. In this short article, I want to show you how you can view history in popular browsers, as well as how to clear it quickly and easily. So…
How to view the history of visiting sites in the browser ...
In most browsers, to open the history of visits to sites, just press the combination of buttons: Ctrl + Shift + H or Ctrl + H.
In Chrome, in the upper right corner of the window there is a "combo box", when you click on it, a context menu opens: in it, you need to select the "History" item. By the way, the so-called keyboard shortcuts are also supported: Ctrl + H (see Fig. 1).
Rice. 1 Google Chrome
The story itself is a simple list of Internet page addresses, sorted according to the date of visit. It is quite easy to find sites that you visited, for example, yesterday (see Fig. 2).
Rice. 2 History in Chrome
The second most popular (after Chrome) browser at the beginning of 2015. To enter the log, you can press the shortcuts (Ctrl + Shift + H), or you can open the "Log" menu and select the "Show entire log" item from the context menu.
By the way, if you do not have a top menu (file, edit, view, log ...) - just press the left "ALT" button on the keyboard (see Fig. 3).
Rice. 3 opening a log in Firefox
By the way, in my opinion, Firefox is the most convenient library for visiting: you can select links even yesterday, even for the last 7 days, even for the last month. Very handy when searching!
Rice. 4 Visit library in Firefox
It is very easy to view the history in the Opera browser: click on the icon of the same name in the upper left corner and select the "History" item from the context menu (by the way, the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + H are also supported).

Yandex browser very much resembles Chrome, so here everything is almost the same: click on the "list" icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select "History / History Manager" (or just press the Ctrl + H buttons, see Fig. 6) ...

Internet Explorer
Well, and the last browser, which could not simply be included in the review. To view the history in it - just click on the "star" icon on the toolbar: then a side menu should appear in which you simply select the "Journal" section.
By the way, in my opinion, it is not entirely logical to hide the history of the visit under the "asterisk", which most users associate with the chosen one ...

How to clear history in all browsers at once
You can, of course, manually delete everything from the log if you don't want someone to be able to view your history. Or you can simply use special utilities that will clear the entire history in all browsers in a matter of seconds (sometimes minutes)!
CCleaner (off.site: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner)
One of the most popular programs for cleaning Windows from "garbage".
It also allows you to clean the registry from erroneous entries, remove programs that cannot be removed in the usual way, etc.
Using the utility is very simple: you run the utility, clicked the analysis button, then checked the boxes where needed and clicked the clear button (by the way, the browser history is Internet History).

In this review, I could not fail to mention another utility that sometimes shows even better results in disk cleaning - Wise Disk Cleaner.
Wise Disk Cleaner (off.site: http://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html)
Alternative to CCleaner. Allows you not only to clean the disk from various kinds of junk files, but also to perform defragmentation (it will be useful for the speed of the hard disk if you have not done it for a very long time).
Using the utility is just as simple (besides, it supports the Russian language) - first you need to click the analysis button, then agree with the cleaning points that the program has assigned, and then click the clear button.

We continue to look at using, customizing and clearing browsing history in popular modern browsers. In this article, we will talk about using the log in Internet Explorer... In other parts of the article, read about the browsing history in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Traditionally, the first question is how to open and view the log of visits.
As usual, there are several ways to do this.
1 way. You can open the history log using hotkeys: Ctrl + Shift + H .
Method 2 - through the menu. On the menu bar in the upper left corner, click .
Method 3. V command line browser click Tools - Browser Panels - History .
Note... If you do not see the menu bar and command line, then you should right-click at the top of the browser and check the boxes Menu bar and Command line .
1 way. On the menu bar in the upper left corner, click View - Browser Panels - History .
Method 2. In the browser command line, click Tools - Explorer Panels - Journal .
Method 3. On the favorites bar, click Favorites, then go to the tab Magazine .

Or open the magazine using the combination hotkeys: Ctrl + Shift + H .
Any of the above methods will open the following window on the left side of the browser.
By default, browsing history is sorted by date (more precisely, by periods of visits: day, week, month). To view which sites have been visited today, click on today, respectively, and open the list. To view the visited pages, click on the desired site.
The history of visits can be sorted not only by date, but also by site (by site in Internet Explorer 8), by attendance and by visit order.
To go to search by browsing history choose Search log (Log search in Internet Explorer 8). Here, in the search field, you can enter either the elements of the site address or the name (both in Russian and in English).
Note 2... As usual, I remind you that if you use private mode (InPrivat in Internet Explorer), then clear history then there will be no need.
You can also restore the last session in the Internet Explorer browser in several ways.
1. Open a new tab and click Reopen the last session . To open one of the recently closed tabs, press Reopen closed tabs and select the one you need from the list.
2. On the menu bar, click .
3. On the command line, click Service - Reopen the last browsing session .
That's all there is to it work with the visit log (history) in the Internet Explorer browser... Good luck!
Hello everyone, Digital is online! I will not open America to anyone if I say that your browser stores a history of all sites and Internet pages you visit in chronological order. Did you know about it? If not, then congratulations - now you know. And it's good if you are the only user of your computer. Otherwise, your co-user (brother, sister, parents, friends) will be able to find out which sites you visit. And this is not always pleasant, you must agree, a person should have a personal space. Today's article will give you answers to the following questions:
We will talk about the most popular modern browsers, such as: GoogleChrome, MozillaFirefox, Opera, YandexBrowser.
If you do not find your browser in the instructions, then you can proceed by analogy. Most often, you can intuitively guess where you need to poke, where to squeeze and who to kick in order for everything to work.
So, let's sort out browser history in order - from simple to complex. Any browser keeps a log of visited pages grouped by date. This log is called the history of the browser, although in fact it is the history of your web surfing. But not the point. The important thing is that this story can be used for harm and good.
You can watch your history if you forget something. You can also see the history of someone else's browser (even though it's oh, how ugly and bad). Likewise, anyone with access to your computer can view your browser history if you haven't cleared it. So how do you view your browser history? This depends on which web browser you are using.
There is nothing difficult to view the history of visited pages in the Yandex browser. To do this, you need to click on the menu button (three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner), there hover the mouse over the " History", Then click on the next opened tab" History". Or just press the key combination " Ctrl +H". And that's all, you can search for what you wanted.
By the way, for the convenience of searching, a special field "Search in history" is provided in the Yandex browser.
Google Chrome provides 3 ways to view your browser history, take your pick.
At first, you can get to your destination through the menu (three dots lined up vertically) by poking a couple of times with the mouse, as shown in the screenshot:
If you want to selectively delete entries about visited sites, then while in history, pay attention to the mini menu to the right of each entry. Click on this menu and then on “ Remove from history"And hallelujah - no one will know that you were on the very site about which you would not want someone to know that you were on it!)))
We continue to act all according to the same scheme familiar to us, friends, which we described above. But what if all browsers are like 5 drops of water?
In order to clear history in FireFox, you must be directly in it. Click on any period shown on the left. By the way, it is convenient that you can clean any day completely, for example, the Sunday before last. To do this, select a period (today, yesterday, last week, August ...) and at the top of the panel, click on the button " Control". A list of actions will open in front of you. Choose “ Delete". Or just after you have selected a period (or one day), press the button " Del". That’s it, my friends!
By the way, have you noticed that the Opera browser has become pretty nimble? Try it if you haven't used it for a long time.
But not the point. The main thing for us now is cleaning the tracks. So, if you have inherited and want to cover your tracks in the Opera browser, then you need (don't be surprised!) Go down in history, as we described it just above. Further, if you want to delete a selective record, then move the mouse cursor over it and look for a cross to the right of the record. He will solve your problem.
If you want to erase the entire history completely and irrevocably (returnable, of course), then look on the right for the button “ Clear browsing history»Opera browser. Did you cope with the task? Take the gingerbread from the shelf. I'm kidding, of course. If I was given a gingerbread for every such action, then I would have put on weight!)))
Sometimes it happens that you have already cleared the browser history, and then it turned out that you were in a hurry and you need to look at something important there. In such cases, the history of any browser can be restored! I decided to combine all browsers in one heap here, because I got tired of describing the same thing for each browser.
This is the easiest and most innocuous way, but it is not a fact that you will be able to restore the entire history, but rather only for the last session (after restarting the computer, this trick will not work anymore). And this method will work only if you did not clear the browser cache when you deleted history.
To do this, insert the following into the address bar of your browser:
FireFox Browser History Recovery
After that, click on Enter and you will see a list of links that you followed during the last session of using your computer.
This method will work only if you have the Windows function " System Restore". Find System Restore in Control Panel and roll back to the last checkpoint. Please note that this method can change some of the computer settings, or rather return them to their previous state if you changed them. be careful and careful, the doors are closing!
Browser history is, in fact, the files that are stored on your computer and if we clear the history, then we delete the files. And, accordingly, they can be restored. We have already written about that. Now let's focus on our problem.
You don't need to scan your entire computer because it will take a long time. It is enough to know where the history files were located on your computer. And their location is as follows:
Where " … "Is the name of your computer. Let's scan this folder. Then, from the files found, you will need to restore the entire folder " History"Along the above path. If there is no "History" folder, then I advise you to restore everything that you find in these directories. That's all for me.
I don't even know if it is worth writing something in the output, it seems that everything is chewed in detail. In general, guys, follow your story. Remember real ninjas leave no traces .
Now you know that in any browser you can see the history of visited pages, you can delete it so that you can sleep more peacefully. But you can also restore it if you wish, so that you can look again and delete it again. Good luck!
