    Viewing internet history

    One of my customers said that when I log in to their web site, they can see the last 10 web sites I have visited. Is this possible? I might very well have been visiting a competitor of theirs.

    Yes it is possible using some CSS/javascript tricks. This site uses similar technology...Using AJAX you could save the information pretty easily.


    Although to figure it out, they have to know a site beforehand. Like they wouldn't know you've gone to like mydadwontheinternet.com or something.

    That's reassuring, but not too reassuring.

    Yeah, and if you check under the Tech Details they do a better job explaining than I can.

    Could they have simply meant they can see the last 10 pages you browsed on their website? Non-technical clients will misspeak this sorta stuff all the time...

    Otherwise, just tell them you were doing competitor research.
