Here are the factors that determine how long the browsing history is stored: Browser default settings: Usually, browsers store their history for a certain period of time (for example, last 30 days). However, users can modify it in browser settings. Privacy modes: In privacy modes (incognito, anonymous) browsers usually don’t save browsing history, entered passwords, or cookies after a tab is closed. Clearing browsing history: Users can erase browsing history manually in the browser settings or by using the clear history option. Automatic removal: Many browsers have an option to delete browsing history automatically after a certain period of time to ensure a user’s privacy. Cookies and cache: The browser also stores cookies and cache that may influence browsing history and the way it interacts with websites.
