Safe Browsing

Most internet browsers record the websites and pages you have visited. For those that are in abusive relationships, this can pose a significant risk should their partner discover that they are seeking support.

This website features a “quick escape” button that will immediately hide the content of the page and redirect the user to an unrelated website. However, this website cannot prevent a user’s visit being recorded by their browser.

It is possible to prevent most browsers from recording site visits and to remove any previous data. However, doing this also has the potential to arouse the suspicion of abusive partners and therefore has to be done carefully.

The following websites provide clear guides for those that wish to hide or delete their browsing history.
