Browser History & Security |
Internet browsers keep track of your file downloads as well as
your web browsing history. It is good practice to erase this
history regularly, both to protect your computer's health and to
protect your privacy.
As you know, the more disk space taken up by files that have
been downloaded, the less efficient computers and programs run.
Therefore it is to your benefit to keep unneeded and unwanted
files from taking up valuable space. Be aware that even if you
haven't actually chosen (clicked on) to download a file, your
browser is constantly downloading images and files to help
itself run as efficiently as possible.
You also want to keep your browsing history private. You may be
thinking "I have nothing to hide so why worry about it" and for
the most part that's true. But just like having an unlisted
phone number and spam filters on your email, your privacy is
important and should be protected. |
