What is Opera history?
As you surf the Internet, Opera stores information about the web sites you visited, information you entered on web sites, what you downloaded etc. Usually, it is helpful to store this information as it can improve your web browsing speed, helps to automatically suggest information you have typed before, so you don't have to type it again, etc. But it can also seriously compromise your security and privacy, as anyone who has access to your computer can see what web sites you visited and what information you entered on web pages. Opera stores the following Internet history tracks:
• History of visited pages (browsing history)
• History of typed-in addresses (List of web sites you have visited stored in Location menu)
• History of visited links
• Cache
• Cookies
You can erase Opera history manually or using special software.

Browser Cache
Opera stores the content of all the web pages you have visited (including pictures, animation, movies, downloads, etc) during a session in cache. This speeds up the displaying of pages you frequently visit as a web browser can open them from your hard disk instead of downloading them from the web. But it can seriously compromise your privacy because anyone who can use your PC can tell where you have been on the web.
