In a web browser, such as internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., the History tab usually has its own button or can be found under tools in IE8. The function of this tool is to track recent browsing history to allow quick and easy re-navigation or documentation of sites visited. For example, if I was doing a research project and I really wanted to go back to that site I was just on, it would be in history. Like TIF's and cookies, this browsing history can be deleted in session at the users command.
