Just press Ctrl+H, or type in "chrome://history/" in your address bar.
it said it works even on deleted history, so I hope it works for you even with Incognito mode on

    I also found this: Incognito does not save any history, so there is no easy way to do it, but sometimes you can check the router logs to see what websites have been accessed. Sometimes you can also get this information from your ISP. It all depends on your router manufacturer and ISP, Google "how to get DNS logs from [router/isp name here]". If successful you will just get a series of numbers roughly in the format of 00.0.000.000. Just enter these into the address bar and you will see which site it is.

SOURCE: network key

Your laptop has a wireless network card internally.

This is used to connect to a wireless, usually broadband, network so you can access the internet, use email etc.

In order to connect to the wireless network you require the key/password usually, this prevents other computer users in the area of the network from connecting to your network and in effect stealing your broadband usage allowance, which is illegal, well at least it is in the UK.

You need a broadband wireless router or modem/router to use this method of connection.

If you have a standard ethernet or usb broadband modem you can still connect the laptop using an ethernet or usb cable,

hope this helps

you may be able to do a system restore and go back and view the history then. Also you can download an application that un-deletes data.

SOURCE: Our son installed google chrome on his computer. I

Honest opinion:
If your son is computer savvy enough to install Google Chrome just to use it to thwart you, you will never be able to handle other countermeasures he may thow at you if you are having to ask this question. Not trying to be mean, just being a realist.

Best bet to make you happy: Take his computer away.

Is there any software to make me invisible in internet?

If you mean to not be tracked by websites you visit, you can use your browser in private mode (incognito window on chrome).

And if you want to hide your actual IP address and not be tracked online, any VPN app/program will do the job for you.

Stopping browsing history

Step 1:
Stop Web History on Internet Explorer b> Every time you visit a website, the web address, date and time of your visit is recorded in your Web browser history. The length of time this information is saved varies depending on what browser is used. If privacy is a concern, popular browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer offer enhanced privacy features that allow you to prevent your browser history from being stored.

Update your Web browser to the latest version of the product. Browser updates often include important security patches. Automatically clear your browser history each time you exit. In Firefox, this option is located under "Tools" and "Options." Select the "Privacy" tab and check the box marked "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox." If you're using Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and "Internet Options" and check "Delete browsing history on exit." Use private browsing if your browser supports it. Private browsing prevents your browser from storing any information about your browsing history, including cookies, temporary Internet files and history. Pressing CTRL+Shift+P on your keyboard will activate private browsing mode in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. It can also be accessed in Firefox by clicking "Tools" and selecting "Start Private Browsing," and in Internet Explorer by clicking "Safety" and selecting "InPrivate Browsing." Private browsing must be activated each time you open your browser.

I cannot get onto the internet I keep getting the mesage I am incognito

Incognito mode (browse in private) For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Here's how the incognito mode works:
  • Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito aren't recorded in your browsing and download histories.
  • All new cookies are deleted after you close all incognito windows that you've opened.
  • Changes made to your Google Chrome bookmarks and general settings while in incognito mode are always saved.
Tip: If you're using Chrome OS, you can use the guest browsing feature as an alternative to incognito mode. When browsing as a guest, you can browse the web and download files as normal. Once you exit your guest session, all of your browsing information from the session is completely erased.

There is no safety browsing


Security Internet Explorer

These days online threats usually fall into two categories:

  • Attacks on you
  • Attacks on your computer
Browse privately. If you want to help protect yourself from fraud when you use a public computer, it's a good idea to erase your tracks. InPrivate Browsing tells Internet Explorer not to record or save your browsing history, temporary Internet files, form data, cookies, and user names and passwords. For more information, see Internet Explorer 8: Browse privately. The newest version of Internet Explorer helps protect you from both of these threats.

Fire Fox

This extension is a must for anyone who has set their browser to automatically delete all cookies when they close their browser. Using just the browser settings you are able to delete all traditional cookies. However, many sites now use "Super Cookies" which are Local Shared Objects (LSO). These are files typically installed by a flash-plugin and are stored with your local system files. These cookies are never deleted.BetterPrivacy
