How to View Web Page History
By default, every Web browser stores information about the websites you visit. The browser maintains a list of the page title and address for each visited page, along with the date and time each visit occurred. Taken together, this allows anyone with access to your browser to view and sort your comprehensive browsing history. Once you know where to look, accessing this information is a quick task, whether you use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari.
