When we install any of the current Internet browsers that we use on our computers, whether they are mobile or desktop, these days we see that in most cases, they are configured practically by themselves, so in a few seconds, we can already be moving through the Internet no problem.
A little later, we began to create a personal account. We began to create our bookmarks, manage them, install the corresponding extensions that help us get more out of the program, etc. At the same time, as the number of sessions with the program increases, we see that it becomes more and more “intelligent”, since it remembers the passwords that we normally enter in the web platforms we access, it offers us proposals about portals that we previously visited, etc.
In many cases, these “knowledge” that browsers acquire as time goes by will greatly facilitate the use we make of them in the future and will improve our experience on the Internet, but that does not mean it will always be the best thing to do. We say this because the program facilitates all these tasks, but based on data collection, sometimes very sensitive and personal, which could endanger our privacy if they fall into the wrong hands.
With this information that is gradually being stored, we refer to data as dangerous as the passwords as mentioned earlier that we use on web platforms, or all the URLs of the sites that we have gone through since we installed the browser in the first instance, which can be a bit dangerous at times.
Prevent Mozilla Firefox From Saving Your Browsing History When Moving Around The Internet
Therefore, when we install one of these current browsers, in addition to the basic steps to follow to start them up, it is also recommended that we take a look at the customizable options that it puts in our hands to adjust its operation to what interests us.
For example, we will say that Mozilla’s proposal, Firefox, allows us to prevent by default the program from storing all the webs through which we are going automatically, that is, to prevent it from saving what is known as the browsing history. To do this, the first thing we do, once in the software as such, is accessing the “Options” of Firefox from the button that is located in the upper right corner.
After that, we click on “Privacy & Security” in the menu on the left of the interface and then locate the “History” section. It will be then when in the drop-down list that will appear on the screen, we will be able to indicate to the browser “Do not remember the history” from “Firefox will be able”, since, by default, the program is prepared to store all this data. Therefore, from that moment on, Firefox will no longer save the websites that we visit by themselves, which will interest us on certain occasions.
