Very often it is advised to delete the browsing history so as to maintain privacy and prevent other people who use the PC from spying on their online activity. The chronology, however, is an important element in the use of the internet because it allows you to go back to old searches, to find sites visited some time ago that had not been stored.
In addition, internet history is one of the main factors in which Google search results also change in a personalized way.
Sometimes, then, browsing history says a lot about the quantity and quality of time spent on the internet.
If you use the Google Chrome browser as your default and usual browser, you can install these extensions to improve the history and search between the sites visited in the past and also to have statistics on the weather and on the most visited sites .

5) Visual History Chrome is an extension that shows us in a pie chart which were the most visited sites in a day, a week or a month, to know our internet browsing habits.
It provides an interactive way to view history, with a graph made up of nodes and sub-nodes.
Below, you can define the time range to be displayed which can be an hour, a day, a week or a month.
The interactive graph can be clicked to highlight one node rather than another, to see the pages visited for each site and to zoom.
Lines are the relationships between the websites you browse, therefore, for example, two pages are connected if they have been visited consecutively in a 20 minute time interval.
The pages visited for some time are colored blue, while those in yellow are the sites currently visited.

It is possible to sort the browser history according to the number of visits, increasing or decreasing with indication of the last visit.
History links can be selectively removed from the history Stats interface.
