I don't have "History" turned off in my browsing options because I find it to be a very useful tool. But it also records that I visit cannabis related sites a lot. Well if someone's going through my house and possessions that wouldn't be any surprise to find. Still, even though it's not illegal to browse IC, I really wouldn't want LEOs to know that I'm Crusader Rabbit and be able to then view everything I've posted.
This morning I uploaded and posted a JPG to a thread. Looking at the history record I see a series of visits to Crusader Rabbit's photo albums. Well anyone could have visited an album of mine so it's not a definitive ID. But right in the middle of that Crusader Rabbit sequence is a visit labeled "Upload Pictures". Ain't nobody going to be doing that except the rabbit. Busted. Now everything posted under Crusader Rabbit is identifiable as originating from the user of this computer.
Just visiting "My IC" places a "User Control" visit in the history files which can be clicked to identify the visitor. If I have any photos posted here which can match details at my grow/home scene then it's a positive ID, and I'm now accountable for everything I've ever posted to this site.
As I said, I find the history feature to be a very useful tool. I've turned it off before and found working on the web to be a pain without it. But if you have anything incriminating here and want to maximize security, it might be a feature to do without.
