Browser history

If one don't dump their browser history & they're online 8+ hours a day surfing, how long could it take before it affects the length of ones Security scans?
I'm not talking any specific computer, just in general.

The browser limits the amount of data that is saved to usually 1GB at max, but a GB of tiny text files can be many tiny files which would slow down the scan in maybe, I don't know, a couple of months assuming the entire memory clump was filled with cookies.

Interesting. You can setup the max capacity of data in browser. I always clean them up in a certain period.

does it? I thought chrome doesnt do that anymore. the cache is usually unlimited I think, but browsing history is limited

I used the word "usually" for a reason. I wasn't gonna try to cover every browser, so I just took a peek at IE and Firefox and guessed from there.

I know FF cache files can get quite large. Just deleting them sometimes can take several minutes. I can't really speak for Chrome - I've tried it on several occasions and don't like it.

I like it, but I am getting fed up because they havent changed the look since version 6! and it is version 22, and 24 beta looks the same!!!

Do you look at the browser or the content? I personally want to see as little of the browser as possible and Chrome does a great job of that.

no I love both aspects, but the idea of no design change just irks me
