Protecting your browsing history: Here’s what you can do
Federal regulations designed to give you more control over your web browsing history and other personal information may soon be eliminated.There are steps you can take to protect yourself — but you’ll have to do more than set your browser to private mode. And there is no perfect solution, experts agree.The Republican-controlled Senate voted Thursday to roll back rules that would have required internet service providers, such as Comcast or CenturyLink, to ask for permission before tracking and selling your information.That includes everything from where you are to what you’re looking at online.

If the House also votes to eliminate them, any provider will be able to track and sell your data without telling you.
