To track and view websites visited from your computer, access the browser history by selecting "History" from the menu in most browsers. Alternatively, utilize monitoring or parental control software to record website visits, keeping in mind privacy implications. You can also request logs from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for a comprehensive list of visited sites. If using a shared computer, check the browsing history specific to your user account for personalized records.

There are a few different ways to check what websites have been visited from your computer. One option is to check your browser history. In most browsers, you can access your history by clicking on the menu or three dots in the top right corner and selecting "History" or "Show Full History." This will show you a list of all the websites you have visited in that browser.Another option is to use a monitoring software or parental control software. These types of programs can track and record all the websites visited on your computer. However, keep in mind that this may be a violation of privacy if you are monitoring someone else's computer without their knowledge.You can also check your internet service provider's (ISP) logs. Your ISP keeps a record of all the websites you visit, but you may need to contact them for access to this information.Lastly, if you are using a shared computer, you can check the browsing history on your individual user account. Each user account on a computer has its own browsing history, so you can see which websites have been visited from your specific account.I hope this helps!
