What is Browsing History?

• A. A record of websites you visit, a record of searches you've done, etc.
• B. A list of installed programs
• C. A log of hardware components
• D. A calendar of online events

Answer: (A)

Browsing history is the record your web browser keeps of pages you’ve visited and searches you’ve made, including the addresses and sometimes when you viewed them. This helps you go back to sites quickly, see what you’ve looked for before, and can feed features like back/forward navigation and search suggestions. It’s different from other data like a list of installed programs (software you have on your device), a log of hardware components (your device’s physical parts), or a calendar of online events (a schedule of events). Because of privacy concerns, you can clear this history or browse in private mode so it isn’t saved.
