A new effort from Google could raise the ire of those concerned about Google’s growing reach: the company wants to track and store every Web page you visit. The feature, called Web History, is an expanded version of the company’s previous Search History offering.


The idea of Web History is to enable Google Account users to look back through everything they’ve viewed on the Internet, be it search results, Web pages, images, or multimedia content such as video. Every URL will be stored and indexed within Google’s massive infrastructure so users don’t have to keep a history on their PC.


“Imagine being able to search over the full text of pages you’ve visited online and finding that one particular quote you remember reading somewhere months ago. Imagine always knowing exactly where you saw something online, like that priceless YouTube video of your friend attempting to perform dance moves from a bygone age,” wrote Personalization product manager Payam Shodjai on the Google Blog.
