You could buy pretty detailed documentation, including internet usage history, from IRC bots on the shadier shades of the doxxing market 15 years ago.
Not everybody's would be readily available or as detailed but if you could afford it you go for on-demand doxxing, the more detailed and the more high profile target the more expensive. Among the data extraction methods used, one was gaining remote access to target's computer, collect the data collected, curate it and sell it.
So yes it was possible to buy browsing history of specific individuals 15 years ago, so I would be surprised if it wasn't still possible today. Don't ask me where to look, I haven't gravitated under these shades since 15 years ago.
