We live in a generation where deleting history is considered more important than creating it. Not only does this help in protecting your privacy but also keep the system clean and healthy.

Windows stores history of most things, like what documents you use, web sites you visit, images and movies you watch and more. Anyone can easily check what you have been doing with your computer, raising privacy concerns. Having said that, there are also benefits of keeping history. For instance you can quickly recover a lost web address you previously visited by searching history.

Now, every browser has a different way of handling browsing history and also displaying them. BrowsingHistoryView is capable of searching the browser history of all the browsers combined.

BrowsingHistoryView is a simple program that is capable of reading history of 4 different browsers and display them under one table. The list of browsers include:
