Safer Surfing

If you are sharing a computer with someone or using a work computer to access the web, you may not want people to know that you have visited this site. This may be especially important if you think that your abusive partner may become angry if they found out you were here.

After clearing out your history and/or cache, you may want to visit some other sites that wouldn't alarm your partner or cause concern at work. This may set off less red flags for someone who may be checking up on you than an empty history/cache folder.
