Each Internet browser stores your browsing history in folders. At any time you can open the history within your browser and view which websites you have visited in the past. You can also use the browsing history to keep an eye on what your child is viewing on the web, or maybe there is a site you viewed last week that you want to revisit, but you can't quite remember what it is called. Browsers make searching through your history easier with tabs identifying specific days and some even have search functions.
Instructions
- 1
Open your Internet browser. Each Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, stores its own information. This means that if you use multiple browsers, you will have to follow this process on each of them. One browser doesn't store the information for multiple browsers.
2Hold down the "Ctrl" key. Then press the "H" key. This will bring up your Internet history.
3You can browse through the history from here. Some browsers have a search box where you can type in specific keywords if there is something in particular you are looking for. Otherwise, the browser breaks the list down according to each page you visited starting from most recent.
4View history from yesterday, last week or last month. There are also tabs and folders that organize the history into days. Some allow you to organize the list by most visited as well.
