    Is there anyway to prevent most visited websites from coming up.......?
    under start menu and google crome. Reason I ask is because I go to lots of porn and the websites to these links keep coming up alongside normal websites like Amazon and obv don't want them to if other people use my comp. I have Windows 7. cheers

    Using incognito mode (ctrl-shift-n) should work

    EDIT: But you'll need to delete all the porn from your history first I think, otherwise it will still come up

    Use this:

    http://duckduckgo.com/

    It doesn't record what you search

    It's been said already - pornincognito mode.

    Chrome used to let you set it to not record any history at all but I think they did away with that feature when they introduced incognito.

    In Google Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N, that will bring up incognito mode. But the damage is already done though, so I'd suggest clearing your browsing data and then use incognito from now on (for anything porn related). Wrench icon (top right) --> Settings --> History tab --> Clear all browsing data --> Select "the beginning of time" in the dropdown --> Select what you want to delete. I'd suggest selecting it all, but that's for you to decide.

    But it's funny, we don't want anyone to know that we watch porn, yet (mostly) everyone does it.

    Porn, yeah right. You really want to hide the fact you go on TSR!

    Delete your browsing history and start using in-private browsing setting or something similar.

    Ew, they don't sell books, DVD's or CD's at John Lewis.

    Surprisingly however, they do at Amazon.

    Sarcasm boys. I made a joke about him using Amazon instead of focusing on the porn. Surely you can comprehend that? :eek:

    I can comprehend sarcasm, it's just pretty difficult to do that through a computer screen.

    But I guess 10 other people couldn't comprehend it either.
