So. What do you think of Internet History? Does it help or hinder you?

Wife : (while looking over my shoulder) Can you check the bank account real quick?

Me : Sure.

(internet history pops up in address bar)

Wife : WTH! Is that what you spend your time doing while you are ignoring me? Am i not good enough for you?

Me : ( Yells at wife who has now stormed away ) We have $12 in the bank if you were still wondering.

It's awesome. Makes things a lot easier, and having my own personal computer eliminates the hourly erasure s***.

It's helpful, I just use private browsing when I don't want something to show up in it.

Useful, especially if I remember viewing something but can't seem to find it via search engine. The secret is to use two browsers - one for everyday stuff and one you keep clean.

I find it useful, I'm the only one that uses my computer. The only bad stuff is some porn sites every now and then and my facebook stalking, but I don't really care if people see that. I am only human :P. I use it occasionally to find sites. I clean it every week or two.

My stuff deletes soon as I close browser. I just keep all the important stuff bookmarked.

I have my own computer so I don't care about hiding my history. The history feature is helpful for quickly finding random sites I've visited or random articles so I tend to keep my history around for a while.

Whenever I look at something that will probably disgust others, I use the Private Browsing feature of Firefox.

My browser doesn't save any history. I just don't need it.

extremely useful specially in firefox 3 where you can just put a single letter in the address bar and you will get a list with the most frequently visited sites with that letter...it doesnt even needs to be the letter of the site...it can be anything...If I type "off topic internet history" in the address bar I will get a direct link to this thread...freaking useful! thats why I love firefox

Private Browsing is my best friend when it comes to search history.
