No, WiFi itself cannot see your browsing history. WiFi is simply a way to connect to the internet, like a bridge. It doesn't store or track what you do online.
However, your internet service provider (ISP) and websites you visit can see your browsing history.
Here's why:
- ISPs: Your ISP can see the websites you visit because they route your internet traffic. They can also see the data you send and receive, although they typically don't monitor the content unless they have a legal reason.
- Websites: Websites you visit can see your browsing history on their website, as well as any data you provide them, like login information or personal details.
Here are some ways to protect your privacy:
- Use a VPN: A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, making it difficult for your ISP or others to see what you're doing online.
- Clear your browsing history: Most browsers allow you to clear your browsing history, which removes the record of websites you've visited.
- Use private browsing mode: Private browsing mode, also known as incognito mode, prevents your browser from storing your browsing history.
- Use a privacy-focused browser: Some browsers, like Brave and DuckDuckGo, are designed with privacy in mind.
While WiFi itself doesn't see your history, it's important to be aware of other ways your online activity can be tracked.
