How to Check a Web History
Every time you visit a website, your browser by default records the URL and date that you visited the site. This can be useful if you would like to view a site that you previously visited but don't remember the exact web address. This feature can also be useful to checking and tracking Internet usage on your computer. You can check the web history of your computer with a quick shortcut.
