Who Can Access My Online Searches?
In addition to this, remember that your employer or anyone who has access to your computer and account (at work) can easily check your browser history. So, it’s best to avoid playing on Facebook during work.
Why is History Deleted?
To avoid making navigation more difficult, you should periodically update this collection of visited websites, including times and dates. In other words, it is reasonable to delete history to prevent it from being available to malicious individuals who could harm our computer and is essentially useless to us.
