Edge keeps a history—a list of all of the web pages you visit. This can be a great convenience for finding pages you've viewed in the past. But, it can also be a privacy concern. See how to view history, load pages from history, and clear the history for privacy.
- [Instructor] Like most web browsers,…Edge keeps a log of the websites that you visited.…This log is known as history.…And it can be really helpful…if you're trying to remember a page…that you saw several days ago.…But it can also be a bit of a privacy concern.…So let's explore our options for history.…So, I'm going to open up the hub…which I can find up here in the toolbar.…There are several categories here,…but if I go to this button that looks like a clock,…that is history.…So this is a list of pages that I visited recently.…
So I can quickly go back…to any page that I want on this list.…All I need to do is click on it here,…and it loads that page.…This is particularly useful if I want to go back…to something I was looking at recently…but I can't remember which page I was on or how I got there.…Now keep in mind that I just set up this computer…to record this training course,…so I don't have a huge amount of history here.…As time goes on, there will be more folders listed below…for previous days, weeks, and months.…
