Collecting Web visits or Browsing History

Hi,
I did a quick search and couldn't find this topic. If its already answered, appreciate your help to the link.
So essentially, we want to upgrade all OS clients to IE 11, we have a mix of all versions (8-11) currently and have 10K machines to deploy. Microsoft is also going away with multiple version support beginning 2016, so its critical we finish this by end of
the year. However as a first step, we require to find out all web visits by employees - external is taken care because there's several proxy/gateway/filters in place to track this information. How do we track this for internal traffic? intranet links? Even
a script will work that can dump browsing history from clients to a central location in csv or xls format or *.mhtml. Perhaps there is client tool that needs to sit and collect this information on every machine, any one knows?
I only need anonymous information about the web visits (say links and hits) so that I can properly test these websites. This is to ensure compatibility is set, enterprise mode in place and Edge rendering correctly (or older) so that transition from older
browsers to IE 11 will be organic in nature.

Hi,
IEHistoryView v1.70 should be helpful to collect IE web history:

Is it possible to check if anyone has applied to monitor my web browsing history/cache/bookmarks as an employer on my home pc without my knowledge or consent?

I am using private windows to browse since someone seems to know what sites I've visited. I've done my best wrt blocking cookies and deleting history on exit, but some data in the "Library" exists.
Apparently my isp provider and employer can see my browsing history of a private browsing window.
I am currently self-employed but I volunteered for an organisation until October 2013. One of their members I worked closely with was stalking my email and browsing history without my knowledge.
Is it possible for this slimy bleep to have weasled their way into monitoring my web activity by claiming to be an employer?
Can I use a private browsing window safely?
I have a business to run, so I need my information, email, web activity to be kept confidential.
Any helpful advice will be gratefully received.

Your question is a bit confusing, and it seems that you don't quite understand who and what can view your internet activity:
* Private browsing mode simply leaves no record of the sites you visit in your browser. There are so many other parts of the chain that can keep records. Example: Your computer could have tracking software (installed intentionally or maliciously), many routers have web logging, your Internet Service Provider can view the sites you visit, your employer if you are at work, the government has extensive tracking programs as well. Private browsing won't defeat these tracking techniques. It basically only prevents people who have physical access to your computer from looking in your history and seeing the sites you visited in PB mode.
* Your employer can't just request to see the sites you visit when you are at home. The only reason your employer could see the sites you visit is it you take your computer to work and use your work network to access the internet (and the employer has enabled logging on their network hardware) or you have a work laptop and take it home and it has logging software installed on it. Many employers have policies against using work equipment for personal. But there is no way that your employer can call your home ISP and ask to view your internet history.
* Your ISP keeps a record of the sites you access, but won't release that without a court order (or to the NSA....) so unless you have a court order or a snoopy ISP employee who has an axe to grind and is viewing your internet logs illegally you don't really have to worry about that.
* It's possible you have malware on your computer that is tracking your internet history. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Judy-
If Private Browsing doesn't do it, try Settings-Safari-Advanced-Website Data-Remove All Websitre Data.
Or changing Settings-Safari-Autofill to OFF.
You might also try Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
As you can see, there are several controls for Safari. Which one works depends on what your problem is.

My browsing history recently started showing multiple "visits" under the visit count upon a single log onto a website. show 300+ "visits" on one recorded visit

I have recently seen a spike in my data usage with Verizon. The only thing i can see that has changed is in my browsing history. I am going to the same sites i always do, but now, immediately upon hitting a site, the browsing history will show anywhere from 40 to over 300 "visits" to that site for the same date and time, even if i leave the site immediately. I believe this may be the cause for the sudden increase in data usage as it seems the browser is going out to the site hundreds of times without me telling it to.
I tried reinstalling firefox but the problem persists.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Do you have any bookmarked pages from that site if you enter the domain in the search field in the Bookmarks and History Manager (Library)?

Firefox recording browsing history; "You have visited this page X times."

I had to reinstall Firefox. I use Google as my search engine.
I finally got things to where my browsing history was not saved. (Or at least I assumed it was not.) Suddenly, a week after I reinstalled Firefox, I am getting that tag "You have visited this page X times. Last visit was [date]." What is going on?
I DO NOT want my history tracked. I have Firefox clear the cache EVERY session, and I also run CCleaner.
What is very interesting about this is, I have requested my history not be tracked many months prior to reinstallation, and it seemed to not be doing it. Yet, today, when I do a Google search, it tells me my last visit to a certain site was 4/26. NOTE: I have had (supposedly) Google not tracking my search history for months.
Also note: This time, I left checked the "Remember search form and history box." But if I supposedly wasn't being tracked before, why the heck does it remember the last time I visited a site?
I want to know definitively--Is there a way to make my usage utterly anonymous, at least to Google. I am trying to get an idea of where a nonprofit site I run is appearing in search results. Because Google starts putting first any site you regularly visit, this makes it impossible for me to track how the site is actually doing.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

For research purposes, you could:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. However, Flash cookies may be shared among profiles (maybe, not sure).
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Do not delete anything!
Click the Create Profile button, use name like June2014, and skip the option to change the folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
''Before searching:'' Let's take Flash cookies out of the picture by preventing sites from using Flash automatically. To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
And finally, does Google give you different results in this new profile?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

I delete my browser history but websites visited still show up in Search mode. Why?

How can the browser history really be deleted so nothing shows up when a search is being done? When I follow the traditional steps to delete the browser history, it shows the history as being cleared, but any letter typed in Search mode will show any websites visited with that letter in the name... So how do I really delete the browser history, so nothing shows up under search? And yes, I know you can take the browser info off the search mode, but that doesn't clear the info. If you put the browser back on search, it's all still there.

Don't wipe your phone!!! its a pain in the back side re-installing everything back

Save all the cookies and web browser history...

Is there a program that can save all the cookies and web browser history for imac.
all the pages my kids will visit. on the internet

as I told you, turn on parental controls on their accounts. then you can control which sites they are allowed to visit and parental controls also save a log of every site they visit. your kids won't be able to delete that log. only an admin user can do that.
parental controls are turned on in system preferences->parental controls.

When trying to cler all browsing history at the location bar, although I follow the instructions to 'ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight them one at a time and hit delete, they remain. What can I do to eliminate them?

When trying to delete web pages from my history at the location bar drop-down area, I do as Firefox instructs by hitting the 'ctrl, shift, delete' keys but some web pages remain. Even if I highlight each page and hit delete, they remain. How can I eliminate these web pages?

If you visit a bookmarked site then that site will become a history item and shows as such in the location bar drop down list.

Questions on privacy and safari, browser history; top sites; private browsi

In one thread someone suggested that those concerned about the privacy of their web browsing and its history try Private Browsing. What are the consequences of Private Browsing? Does Private Browsing interfere with some of the web page features or javascript from working when I'm trying to access a page that has java or Flash? Will my bank's website load ok etc? I guess I was a little worried it would stop the showing of the last page visited and if so then hopefully that won't stop some sites from functioning.
Is Private Browsing the best way to go all around for those concerned about privacy loss in Safari or does it not really help much? I wonder why it isn't the default.
I want to be able to use my browser to access sites that don't load well when I use Firefox with NoScript, such as bank sites, but I do not want my browsing history to stay in view constantly, and I'm also upset at seeing it want to "learn" my browsing habits and try to suggest sites for me without my setting it to do this.
For this reason I will be setting Firefox or any other browser I feel is more private than Safari, possibly Camino, to be my default browser. I will probably only be using Safari when a site won't work without it, same as when I used to settle for Internet Explorer on my windows computer when Firefox didn't work.
I'm also concerned that I can't get that Google search bar out of my browser. I don't want Google keeping tabs of every site I visit. I'm not sure if Google has access to tracking every place I go if I never put any text into the Google search bar or how far into bed with Google Apple has now gone but I'm afraid of the privacy invasion possibilities.
Perhaps Google gets no info if I do not type anything into the google search bar. I wish I could drag it off the menu bar however. (If I want to go to google, I know how to type google.com for crying out loud).
I hope Apple will hold the line on its partners re: privacy in products like iPhone and Safari that work with its partners regardless of their tendencies to disrespect privacy.
Does anyone know if the fact that this Safari software wants to learn what my favorite sites are affects outside parties including Apple, Google, and/or others possibly getting access to info on my browsing habits?
If i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
Does hitting RESET clear things out in this regard? I'd like to use these tools if I could be sure that using Safari doesn't turn the computer into a spyware tool for outside entities, commercial interests and governmental interests to mine data from.

Hello r:
If you think Safari, Firefox, or anything else will mask your browsing habits from someone who really wants to know, you are not being realistic.
I tend to discount justifications of privacy encroachments I sometimes encounter to the effect of "snooping is done by certain commercial and governmental parties as the way things 'just are', so shut up and don't worry". Customers who do not air their concerns and questions cannot have any expectation that the developer will be aware of their concern if they sit mute.
I sometimes pay for additional software to protect my privacy. I also use Firefox with Noscript and adblocking third party software rather than just sit with what the big corporations leave me with; there is a third party program for Safari I tried called PithHelmet for example, but then it seemed to not be loaded with the new Safari update and its developer dud not provide me any communication (although I got help here on how to find the program so I could remove it); so I may not use Safari as much compared to whatever browser I find has better privacy and security measures.
If you go to the Safari help menu and enter +"private browsing,"+ you will find a complete description of what that function does for you. In answer to one of your questions, it is not a default because one loses a good deal of functionality. I would be most perturbed if that was made the default.
Ok, I will try to learn the functionalities lost, thanks.
You can set the history to be deleted after one day (or longer). If you are concerned, it is quite easy to clear history before you sign off.<</div>
I've been using RESET to clear my history in the past; I assume it still works although Reset doesn't seem to permanently make certain cookies with future expiration dates go away permanently, which I find come back later even without my visiting a site for weeks and this was happening in the previous version of Safari too.
You can remove the Google search box (or anything else) from the menu bar. Right click on it. One option is +"remove item."+
That doesn't work in terms of just removing the Google search bar at the top right, I see.
I did not want to lose my blank for typing a URL; I only want the thing out to the right that says Google on it, which seems to use Google's search engine to go away. I certainly hope that every time I type a URL into the blank at the left top (which is not the part over to the top right that says Google and a magnifying glass) that I'm not having Google track my URLs I visit like they would if I put a search term into the blank at the top right, but maybe it does since the two are forcibly linked.
I guess I'd have to try Command L - Open Location in the Find menu if I want to try to go to a URL without using the URL blank at the top left I normally type in. I would only want to go to that trouble if typing in the top left blank for URLs results in Google tracking my URL visits like they certainly would if I typed in the top right google tool bar and hopefully Open Location does not result in the same issue.
if i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
I seriously doubt that Apple (or anyone else) is "reporting" anything about you to anyone. As you are no doubt aware, most web sites store cookies on your system when you visit that site. The information stored varies, but you can, of course, block cookies if you wish.
I have the ability to block cookies, and I use Noscript a lot too with Firefox (although that set up does not always work with a few webpages here and there, so sometimes I have to use Safari or Camino). I use Safari less and less because there is no Noscript type of third party software for it. The only time I feel I have no choice but to use Safari on my Mac is when I go to my Mobileme account.
My concern is of Top Sites "learning" my favorite sites and displaying to me the names of a lot of suggested URLs, as to who else is receiving that data; hopefully no one. Maybe I'll get to where i find info explaining that Apple and Google aren't collecting data about my "top sites" if I use that feature.
It's just that there has been an increasing amount of privacy intrusion in the commercial realm combined with a corporate arrogance in terms treating consumers as though there is no need to make any assurances or explanations to consumers to help them trust the privacy. Instead we get browbeaten by various parties about how stupid or obvious we are if we ask a question to remind the corporation it's an issue to those of us who want to feel comfortable with the privacy of the software we use.
I'll try to use the Feedback form to ask as well.
At the risk of stating the obvious, it is quite easy to find out all sorts of information about an individual if one is interested. If you are really concerned, I suggest you severely limit your use of the Internet.
I may well limit my use of the internet if what you say is true that there is no way to do any reading on the internet without being spied on by commercial and governmental interests.
thanks

How do I preserve and export my Safari browsing history?

I need to keep track of how many times I visit a particular web site. Ideally, I would like to be able to preserve my browsing history in Safari for an extended period of time (several months), and then export the history data (site visited, date visited) to spreadsheet, txt file, or something comparable. Is this even possible?

Hello,
Thank you. I found that option you pointed out. I can now change it from 1080i to 1080p and I can chance the resolution. However I still can't change the frame rate. It still stays at 29.97.
Could this be due to the camera? I am using a Canon VIXIA HF S100 with 30p and 24p frame rate options. I suspect that it does not really shoot at true 24p and only does 24p within 60i.
Frankly, I don't really care about getting 24p support too much but it would be very nice to have the option.
I'll keep toying with the program. Still, anymore ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Wild Giles.

Why won't my browser history clear?

This latest upgrade has been awful for a very basic computer user like me. I've used Mozilla happily for years but the amount of time I'm spending trying to put it back to the way I like it is starting to make me reconsider the whole thing. Chrome is looking awfully good right now.
I've already spent hours trying to rid myself of the Yahoo thing that just suddenly appeared as my search engine and now my browser history won't clear. I used to be able to go to show all history and delete. Easy! Now even when the history says it's clear, even when I've closed down all the tabs prior to closing down mozilla (except for my home page Google) When I reopen Mozilla the last four tabs are back again. It should, based on my my prior usage, only open to my home page and if I want to restart at my previous tabs it asks me. Why is this happening?
I'm a very basic computer user and this sudden hijacking of my browser and search engine is actully a bit distressing and frankly I'm getting sick of trying to fix it.

I had a similar problem clearing the browser history that was maddening. No matter how much I cleared the history when I went to type in a web address it would still show a list of webpages I had visited that started with similar URLs. It is unclear if this is the exact problem you are experiencing but here is how I fixed it:
* Go to the following menu: Tools > Options > Privacy.
* At the bottom of the menu there is a seperate setting for the Location Bar (which I guess is the term for the area you type in web addresses).
* Change the setting to "When using the location bar suggest NOTHING."
I don't know why they kept this seperate from the other options to clear your history. It seems like a pretty bad design flaw to me, very counterintuitive. I hope that helps.

Can browser history transfer over to a PC when updating songs on the phone?

Can browser history from your iPhone get transfered over to your PC web browser history after syncing your phone through iTunes? There have been some sites showing up on our PC web browser history that neither my wife nor I have visited and our Malware/Spyware/Virus program has not found anything. These websites have been visited during times that nobody is at home however an iPhone was lent to our son with data blocked but his school has free WiFi. So could websites that he has visited while at school on their WiFi also then transfer over to our browser history when he updates music in iTunes?

Ok, I have never used one of those, and have no intention of doing so. Wasn't even aware people would put that on an iPhone since it strikes me as less than good security.
