Type ipconfig/displaydns> any location\filename. Run the Command prompt as an administrator. Now click on the Windows icon given on the bottom left corner. Check the history and you’ll see it’s not present in the history list of the browser. Open a website using incognito mode or Kingpin browser. And it’s pretty simple to see the DNS results – you don’t have to be a bigshot hacker for this. Now if you read the DNS results, it will show the browsing history of your computer. This entire process of communication between the browser and the DNS server gets recorded on your device – even if you’ve used private browsing. So when you enter the name of a website in the browser, the browser will check the DNS server and get the IP address of the site to open it. How DNS WorksĪ DNS server, or Domain Name System server, is a device that records the IP address and their hostnames. Since these DNS queries are stored and can be accessed on a Windows device, you can find out a user’s browsing session’s details.

Select the menu icon next to the search engine and there "make default" to make it the new default search engine in Google Chrome. (See: It may be time to switch to DuckDuckGo or Startpage for web search) My selected search engine is Startpage, but you can select any other search engine such as DuckDuckGo as well. Chrome picks them up as you visit the websites of the search engines and run a search. Manage Search Engines lists all detected search engines. Either pick one of the available solutions under "Search engine used in the address bar", or select "Manage search engines" if the search engine that you want to pick is not listed. Scroll down to the Search Engine section. Load chrome://settings/ in the browser's address bar. It seems that you cannot resolve the issue completely when you switch search providers, but it may help. Option 2: change the default search provider Why that is affecting the priority of results is unclear. The description suggests that it adds Google Drive search options to Chrome's address bar if Google Search is the default provider and if you are signed in to a Google account.
