Erasing Internet Tracks – Browsing Data
- When you go to a site on the internet, your browser stores a copy of pages you visit, called cache files.
- Download cache is created by your browser when you download files from the internet. You can use NetShred X to clean this information so it can’t be recovered.
- When you go to a site on the internet, your browser stores the History of URL of pages you visit.
- A Top Sites page gives you an at-a-glance thumbnail view of your favorite websites. If you’ve customizing this view by pinning a favorite site to a specific location on the page, you’ll want to retain your Top Sites when using NetShred X. Otherwise, you may want to erase your Top sites.
- Favicons are the thumbnails beside the URLs stored in your browser history.
When you clear or delete any of this browsing data, the information can still be recovered. You can use NetShred X to erase browsing data on your Mac so it can’t be recovered. (To erase browsing data you’ve previously deleted, you need to erase your free space.)
