Where did I hear that?

STUG on finding a visited website days later

Ever want to find the source of something you “heard” on the Internet? Or reopen some website you found interesting oh, say a week or two ago?

Well, if you use Chrome browser, you can find out. (I found this out by accident when I hit Ctrl + H at the same time.) Go to chrome://history/ and voila ! Everywhere your browser took you is there to revisit. There’s even a search box so if you can remember that it was about car pools, for example, Chrome remembers that you read https://apnews.com/article/california-man-cited-using-mannequin-carpool-lane-d960a9623ee5a03aeca9764f8747acaf one day.

Somehow, I envisioned “mannequin” as something more glamorous…

Of course, this can be scary too. My history went back for 20+ days before my mouse finger got tired. There is an easy way to get it out of sight with the “Clear browsing data” button.

Look! It’s watching me as I type!
