Here’s an interesting tool for those of us who are concerned about privacy (and/or those of us who want to check up on our kids’ online activities …)
Keeping track of all your history items can be quite the feat if you are using more than one browser. Privacy conscious users usually delete the information regularly, while the majority of users is likely unaware what their web browser and operating system can reveal about them.
If you’re unhappy with the standard Chrome history page, then you might want to check this out …
The standard history page of the Google Chrome web browser is a mess. All visited web pages are listed in order of visit, with no options to filter the items by date, name or frequency of visits.
Only the search at the top offers some form of customization, as it can be used to find a specific web page that you have visited in the past.
Here’s another useful Chrome extension … or at least it would be useful for those of us who use a browser’s history function …
The history stores information about previously visited websites. Every web browser offers this feature, and the major difference is the way it can be accessed. Firefox users for instance can display the history in a sidebar. Chrome users by default on the other hand are limited to displaying visited websites in a new tab, which is not the most user friendly way of displaying the information.
Here’s an interesting trick; I knew you could clear the entire history, but I didn’t know you could just clear recent history …
If you are working on a multi-user system you may sometimes want to hide information about visited websites from those other users. While it is possible to do that with the private browsing mode in Firefox, or by deleting all temporary files and the history, it often is more convenient to delete only the recent Firefox history.
