Behold! A list of your recent digital escapades! You can either scroll through this list of sites, or click "Show All History..." at the very bottom. Doing so opens a special window, a veritable museum of your browsing activity, just waiting to be explored.
Method 2: The Keyboard Shortcut of Awesomeness
Feeling like a ninja on a mission? Then this method is for you! Press Command (⌘) + Y. Boom! Like a secret password whispered at the gates of time, your history window materializes!
Consider it your digital cheat code to past internet glory.
Chrome: Your Chrome-Plated Chronicle

Method 1: The Three Dots of Destiny
Look to the upper-right corner of your Chrome window. You'll see three little vertical dots. Give them a click!
A menu will unfurl, revealing a treasure trove of options. Hover your mouse over "History" and another menu will pop out. Click on "History" again!

Method 2: Keyboard Shortcut – Engage!
Ready to unleash your inner keyboard warrior? Press Command (⌘) + Y. Yes, it's the same shortcut as Safari! It's like the universe wants you to find your avocado toast recipe.

Firefox: Your Fiery Flashback
For those who prefer the fiery embrace of Firefox, fear not! Unearthing your past online adventures is just as easy.
Method 1: The Burgermenu Expedition

Method 2: Keyboard Shortcut - Zap!
Want to bypass the menus and dive straight into your past? No problem! Press Command (⌘) + Shift + H.
Suddenly, your Firefox history appears on your screen like a phoenix rising from the ashes of forgotten websites.
