View your web activity.

How many of you know that Google stores all your web searches in orderly fashion. Have a look.

Woah that's creepy. Never knew they were doing that at all... Is that only for gmail users though? They don't track non-gmail users' search habits?

Web History only records your web activity while you're signed in to your Google Account. If you visit web pages or perform searches while you're not signed in, they won't be recorded.

How do I remove items from my web history?
