I delete my browser history often enough, but each instance is not evidence that I believe I've committed any crime.
Do browsers actually log when you delete history? Is there any record or log beyond traces on the filesystem?
- abalashov 11y agoI don't think so, but an empty history, or a history consisting solely of access over the past few days, might be taken as evidence that it was wiped.
- krick 11y agoSo what? I might delete it just for my own convenience. (BTW, it's irrelevant if somebody does so, but if you are curious: I actually do. The reason is it is much simpler to search for something in the cache/history when it's small.) There's no reason whatsoever to think that I'm hiding something. I mean, if I was an investigator, I surely would pay attention to that, but I cannot (or shouldn't be able to) treat absence of evidence as evidence of "hiding something". No evidence is no evidence and nothing more.
