If someone else has access to your computer, you may want to consider clearing your browser history. Our red “Exit” banner (upper-right) redirects you away from our site and takes you to google.com. However, a trace of where you have been remains in your browser history. Also note, selecting the ‘back’ button will return you to this page.

Quick Tip: After you clear your history, visit a few innocuous sites (like Google, CNN, People, etc.) to leave new history trail.

What is search browser history?


When you surf the web, your browser remembers every page you’ve ever visited. Apart from the moments when you choose Incognito Mode (or Private Browsing), all of these pages are carefully stored in your browser and are tied up to your account.

Quick Tip: Consider using Private Browsing when visiting Latina SafeHouse’s site. Private Browsing (Incognito Mode) is a privacy feature in some web browsers that disables the collection of browsing history and the web cache.

Websites you visit can now show up in autofill Google search forms when you look for them. They will also be highlighted in violet in search results.


Browsers also keep the info about when you have visited these pages. Why browsing history can be useful: you can always resort to it when you need to find a site visited over a month ago that has escaped your memory.
