Nowadays surfing the internet has become commonplace for most of us. Thanks to this connection, we can search for information anywhere in the world , and connect with different people regardless of the kilometers that do not separate from them. For all this, it is important to have a good browser ..
Current browsers have a large number of options to improve the privacy and security of the information that is handled day by day from there and within this data there may be confidential information which if it were to fall into the wrong hands can be a headache for us.
One of the most common ways we can protect this information, especially the websites we visit is using the incognito or privacy mode which is responsible for avoiding leaving a trace (in a high percentage) of the websites visited but in case Our team can be accessed by more users and it will also be possible to prevent the incognito mode from being active in order to accurately track which sites other users access and thus determine whether they visit unauthorized sites or misuse navigation..
TechnoWikis will explain how we can avoid deleting the history of current browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.
