It depends. If you think you might need to look back at some of the pages later, you can keep the history or just bookmark the pages you want to remember. If you don't want to risk people seeing where you have been on the Web, or if you take your laptop/device to public places where there is possibility of theft, you may want to set the history to delete itself after each browsing session. Basically, it's a question of whether you value convienience or privacy more. However, note that it might be a good idea to delete it along with the "cookies" and even the "cache" after spending money online, to ensure that no one finds your credit card information if the computer gets stolen. On a private home computer, the only reason to delete it may be to clear up some memory, but it really doesn't use much space, so it's probably unnecessary.

Can you get your browser history back after it is erased?

You certainly can - if you have the right skills and tools. All that happens when you "delete" the browser history is that the space where it was stored is marked as available for re-use. Until something else is written to that space, the original information remains and can be recovered by someone using forensic tools.I have the requisite skills and tools. My kids learned that they were not skilled enough to hide their internet activities from me - so they had best use it correctly. Fortunately they were good kids and found that "good" activities were fun and "bad" ones really were not as fun as advertised, so I didn't have to bust their chops more than once or twice.

Mainly people do that not to reveal their browsing habits. I'd suggest to find and delete only compromising information from your PC, i.e. scan your PC history, choose ONLY the items that MUST BE DELETED. Consider using History Killer Pro 5.0.1. It is the program you need.
