How to Track Web Browsing

No matter what websites are visited, or what browser is used, a trace will always be left on the computer. These traces allow the computer to recognize the websites in the future, enabling it to load faster the next time visited. It also lets the user look back at what they had viewed in previous Internet sessions. Tracking Web browsing by viewing the history is fairly straightforward; however, most Web browsers are slightly different in their approach.
