QuestionWe have Frontier Internet, and my parents recently told me that they can go on the account, look up any device that is or has been connected to the internet, and also see the history, including texts. What can I do?Nicholas DeckmanCommunity AnswerUsing a VPN can potentially solve your problem, while using a VPN nobody, including your ISP can see what sites you visit.
-
QuestionIf my parents can see my history through their computer accounts, can they see my searches while I'm on incognito?Community AnswerIt depends on the browser. If you are using Chrome's Incognito Mode, then no. Only your ISP can see what you are searching, but your parents cannot access that data. If you are using Edge, possibly. Microsoft includes family services linked across multiple accounts, so they can see what you have been searching, even in InPrivate Mode.

QuestionIf I have family sharing on windows and happened to open my Outlook account and then closed it, will my parents still see my history?Community AnswerYes, unless you delete it from your history (generally, you can use Ctrl + H to view your history, and delete whatever you want from there). You can also use an Incognito window in Google Chrome, which prevents the sites you visit from being recorded in your history. Note that your parents probably won't be able to log into your Outlook account and see your actual emails, they could just see that you used that website.
-
QuestionIs there any way they can find deleted history?Community AnswerNo, because it should be gone. The best way may just be using incognito browsing, and then when you are done, close the tabs and no one can find out.
-
QuestionIf I erase history from Google, will my parents still find a way to find the history?Max ObermayrCommunity AnswerYes. All data is never fully deleted, but if you use Chrome and go incognito, the history will not be recorded.

-
QuestionI didn't know there was an incognito mode in Chrome and haven't used it, but I deleted the browsing history in Google. Can they still find a way to know the websites I used?Community AnswerNo, if you have deleted your search and website history, there is no way anyone can know about which websites you have visited except Google. However, your parents will be able to see that you have accessed history on your computer, and will eventually figure out what you have been doing.

QuestionMy parents provide my internet. If I search on Incognito in Google, will they be able to see it?TheXboxGamer2002Community AnswerThe ISP will log the history, but it is unlikely that this information would be released to your parents unless something illegal was going on, like human trafficking, drug selling, etc.

QuestionIf I want to spend all of the day bingeing on my favorite porn sites, can I hide the stuff I like to watch from others like my parents?TheXboxGamer2002Community AnswerUse the Tor Browser with incognito.

QuestionIs it possible to view the history when we browse in a private window in Mozilla?Community AnswerUnless your parents are tech savvy and use parental controls to record history or contact the ISP, then no. All searches in a private windows are not saved.
-
QuestionMy parents are major on parental controls. If I deleted my history then they can't ever see it right? Like, not even on the hotspot internet?Community AnswerDeleted history only removes it from your computer and/or Google/Firefox account. Your parents can still get your history through your ISP. Some parental controls will also record history separately.
-
QuestionCan I (parent) tell when incognito has been used?Community AnswerThe short answer is no. In most cases, the parental control software cannot detect if incognito was used, and neither can your ISP. All you will know is what sites were visited, not if incognito was used.
-
QuestionIs there any way I can make sure no-one can see it?Community AnswerThe short answer is no. Even with clearing search history, using a VPN, etc., there is always the chance that inappropriate videos similar to the ones you watched then get recommended to you on YouTube later on, or that the game you brought online gets found in purchase history, or even that someone walks in on you occurs.
-
QuestionMy parents say they can see my history by using the ISP even if I use incognito or guest mode, is that true?Community AnswerYes. The ISP can still see what you search, download, etc, regardless of incognito or not. To combat this, use a VPN and/or proxy.
-
QuestionMy parents say that they will pull up the logs from the ISP. How can I stop this?Community AnswerUse a VPN. This way, all that will show up on the ISP log is you downloading a VPN. If this will be suspicious, then download the installer to a USB or SD card at your friends house then install from the USB.
-
QuestionWhat if it is on youtube.com?gavin madelarCommunity AnswerThen, clear your history in YouTube and then turn on Incognito mode. Incognito in YouTube lets you browse in a session that your account search and watch history won't influence or reflect.

QuestionI am part of a Microsoft Family Safety group with my father. Microsoft says that parents can track browser history even in incognito mode with the family plan; is there any way to bypass that?Sanjeet KCommunity AnswerNo. You can try to sign out and try it and maybe you can delete the websites you searched right after but not their searches too.
