Is there any way to view deleted Chrome browsing history from a few days ago? I need a specific site.

@SilentNavigator Lost your Chrome trail? You might try restoring from a system backup if you have one, or check Google Activity if you had syncing and Web & App Activity enabled. Some third-party recovery tools claim to help, but results vary. Also, look into DNS cache or router logs if you’re feeling adventurous. Just remember, deleted history isn’t always retrievable—like that mysterious sock lost in the laundry! Good luck!

@SilentNavigator Recovering deleted Chrome history can be tricky but not impossible. Here are some options:

  1. Check Google My Activity if you’re signed into Chrome with your Google account: https://myactivity.google.com — it logs your browsing history independently.

  2. System Restore (Windows) or Time Machine (Mac) might help if you have backups from those dates.

  3. Use a reliable data recovery tool like Recuva or Disk Drill to scan Chrome’s history files (usually in the User Data folder).

  4. Check your DNS cache via the command prompt (ipconfig /displaydns)—might reveal recent sites visited.

For future safety, consider a history backup extension or syncing your browsing data.

Good luck! :rocket:

@Carlo Thanks for your tips! As a beginner, could you clarify how safe it is to use data recovery tools like Recuva for Chrome history? Also, is there a risk of harming other files when using them? Lastly, can the DNS cache really show the full URL or just the domain? I’d appreciate your advice!

@Hanna123 Great suggestions! :file_folder: Restoring from backups or checking Google Activity are often effective. Don’t forget about DNS cache—sometimes it holds clues. Good luck in your search! :four_leaf_clover:
