Browser History

Just quick question for you all,

Does browsing history take any space of my hard drive or is it just in the browser itself?

Many Thanks

Andy

 

Your browser and all associated files, including history, are necessarily on your HD, where else could they be?

cCleaner is a great program to clean up this clutter.

Just keep the default settings and all will be good.

Thanks that's what I thought. Also on your post just making a humour point.

I hate clutter :-D

 

And one more thing. If you are using IE, (not sure how this is done in firefix), under tools > internet options, you can select to "delete browsing history on exit", or you can go into the settings under history and select how many days to save history. Not sure what the top limit is, but the bottom limit is 0.

 

Yeah I know Firefox can do that that's what is now setup in my options but IE8 does not do the same thing except delete what you have searched in the address bar you have to go through internet options all the time to delete history and other things in IE.

Opera has got the same options as Firefox so then again you can change this. But the browsers I found that you can't stop history is Chrome and Safari.

 

There's an extension for Chrome that will not prevent automatically building a browsing history but one can erase that manually after browsing with just one click and offers a lot more. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod?hl=en
