BROWSERS - HISTORY
While surfing the internet your browser records all you do, each url address you typed in, every search you did in google or yahoo, every information you supplied when filling various forms which are required to log in and more. We often refer to this information as "browser history" and people often ask how to clear unwanted information from their browsers.
