TheHill Google is famous for keeping discreet tabs on how people browse the Internet in order to market ads back to them and point them toward the websites, videos and services they want. Now, it’s possible for the average Web user to get a slice of some of that information. Over the weekend, an unofficial Google blog highlighted a new feature that the Internet giant had quietly rolled out to let people download their entire Google search histories. To find everything they’ve ever searched for, users should go to Google Web History, click the gear icon and click “Download.” “Create an archive of your search history data,” the Web company promises. In a few moments, it sends an email with downloadable cache of data about people’s past searches.

Here’s Google coming out hot and putting the whole world on notice. As sad of a topic it may be, its important to make preparations in the event of an untimely death. Who takes care of your family, your house, yada yada yada. The most important thing to worry about prior to any man’s demise is who is going to clear your internet history? Everyone need a “Shovel Buddy” in their entourage that they can entrust to make that history disappear.

The last thing anybody wants is for their legacy to go up in a cloud of smoke when a loved one inherits their technology and comes across some barnyard website in the history. There is no one there to provide any narrative for why you were researching average penis lengths for hours on end. There is no one there to provide context that you were taken hostage by a YouTube Black Hole which segued into a Wikipedia Black Hole and your intentions were never dick length but instead, vagina depth.

Today Google changed the game when it was revealed that in addition to your computer saving the websites you visit, they are also going to save every single search query. Now instead of quickly deleting your webpage footprint via a simple Ctrl+H and click of the delete button, you have to worry about where your searches are ending up.

If you’re interested, here are instructions how to download your own search history. The good news is it only saves if you are logged into your Google account. If you however are like me and are usually signed into Google, you may not want to look at yourself in the mirror after this. There may a great deal of drunk Googling you never remembered and you may have some splain’ to do.

Thankfully if you want, you can clear everything that’s in there now. Looking ahead however, it is up to you to make sure you have your ducks in a row when it’s time to go to a better place and have your support staff available to clear your histories.
