internet history

Sites you've visited

Internet history is the record of websites and pages visited by a web browser, stored locally on a device.

Users may clear their internet history to protect privacy or free up space.

The phrase carries connotations of embarrassment—clearing your internet history often implies hiding evidence of porn or other private browsing: Delete your internet history before you die.
