How to hide your internet activities
Keep yourself safe - hide your visit to this site
If you are concerned about someone who uses the same computer as
you being able to know what sites you have been accessing on the
internet, then read the instructions below on how to manually
delete your browsing history.
Whilst it is a relatively straightforward task to delete your
entire browsing history, we do not recommend it in all cases
because this can arouse suspicion if the person you are trying to
hide your browsing history from discovers that the entire browsing
history has been deleted from the computer.
This information is for guidance only and will not necessarily
cover your tracks entirely. If you are still concerned about
someone discovering your internet site visits, the best way to
access sensitive websites may be to do so at a trusted friends
house or maybe to use a public internet point such as a
library.
Which browser am I using?
Click on Help on the menu at the top of the browser screen (ALT
and then H on most browsers). A drop down menu will appear, the
last entry will say About Internet Explorer, About Mozilla Firefox,
or similar. If you select it, you will be told the browser name and
version you are using.
How to selectively delete just one site from the browser
