View history under private browsing

[rogue15]

I'm trying to find a list of webpages viewed by my kids while private browsing is enabled. Is this possible? Also, any way I can turn off private browsing? Thanks

Er, the whole point of private browsing is that it doesn't keep a browsing history, so the answer to your question is "no".
You can disable private browsing but it's a bit convoluted: See this old thread for details (I don't know if it still applies to current version of safari though)

Private Browsing, by definition, doesn't store history.

You could try using a managed account for them which can then log all web paged viewed. I think this works independently of Safari's history.

You can then set-up restricted sites and timelimits and bedtimes as well.

Thanks

For the replies. Of course private browsing indicates that there would be no history however I have read in other forums that the information may logged and obtainable through the use of Terminal in the Utilities folder.
