browsing history

Visited pages log

Browsing history is the record of websites and pages visited in a web browser.

Browsers store this data to help users return to previous sites and to enable features like autocomplete.

The term often carries privacy implications—clearing your browsing history removes evidence of what you've viewed: I deleted my browsing history before lending him my laptop.
