Windows 7 computers come bundled with the Internet Explorer Web browser. Firefox and Chrome are two popular alternative browsers developed by Mozilla and Google, respectively. Unless you are browsing the Internet in a private window, each Web browser stores a record of the pages you view. This record is called your history. Viewing your Internet history can be a handy method of recalling sites you want to visit again. It can also help you to keep tabs on the viewing habits of other people using your computer.
