    This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn’t save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).

    On windows 98 before clearing Internet history was a thing I knew how to do, I would just click log off and login to Windows under another random username.
