Our search histories could be interesting

[Rose65]

I read a lot, often murder mysteries, though nothing very graphic in my case. I possess a vivid and curious imagination as perhaps you have gathered. So I am always looking up words or ideas.
In this day and age, I presume our search histories are forever available to experts if they chose. We leave quite a trail no doubt. I presume certain search results could even trigger off something.

I presume my searches are too boring to be of interest but you never do know! Should we be careful what we look up?

I think our "search history" is a source of Spam in our E-mails. I try to remember to delete my history every day, and doing so seems to reduce the "junk" I get.

Yea, would look up how easy to make a bomb? No...but it would be good info to know in case you saw evidence that it could be happening around you somewhere.

Should we be careful what we look up?

Not necessarily.
But you should be careful of what you choose to leave in your search history.

The state of internet today, if searched how to make a bomb war against terrorism would try to trace your location. Fortunately, internet freedom is still some what protected with the right tools.

 

[Mr. Ed]

I clean my cookies and browsing history daily. I use privacy settings to prevent tracking and I am always behind a vpn with the exception of websites refusing to open based on vpn location.

If it is too squeaky clean I think you become a suspicious character.

I laugh at people who pay for VPNs. May as well wear a sign saying "I'm hiding something." What makes you think the commercial VPNs that cater to the masses aren't funneling all of your unencrypted traffic right to the FBI, CIA, MI6, MI7, Massad, etc?
