# Browsing privately
## Chances are you're already familiar with your favorite web browser. You might use it to make purchases online, fill out forms, or even research personal interests.
However, while you're surfing the Web you may not realize that it is possible that your online activity is being seen by others. This is because your browser automatically saves a record of your **browsing history**, and many websites have the ability to **track** what you click on.
