Find your browsing history in IE9

Despite the most recent incarnation of Internet Explorer 9 omitting the dropdown menu for the browsing history, there is an easy way to find out where you've been

I have found that there is a way to view your browsing history in Internet Explorer 9 even though the dropdown menu from previous versions has been removed.

Right-click on either of the blue circular buttons at the top left of the browser window. A menu will appear with a list of the pages that you have been visiting. The tick indicates the page that you are currently on so you can use this menu to go forward through pages as well as back.

Click the bottom option, History, to see a complete list of all the web pages that you have visited.
