    I used to, before I came out to my mom. Two things have changed since then.
    1. I got my own computer
    2. I came out to my mom
    But now I don't because I'm at college and most of the people there know.

    Not me. It's in my favourites, on my bookmark bar and is one of the 8 "most visited" on the new tab page.

    I'm the only one that uses my laptop though.

    I totally do. And I switch windows if anyone comes near me when I'm on the computer. *sighs* But that's just for now, since I'm on winter break and using my famjam's computer. I have my own laptop for school, thankfully, but I'll probably still clear my browser 'cause people pretty much use my laptop without asking. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: There are so few people in my program at school we're like a family, so it isn't a problem, but I'm still not really out to them, so...

    I use an incognito window on chrome.
    Although I don't know why I even bother, because I'm the only one that uses my computer. But I am kinda paranoid, so yeah.

    I never clear it.
    I have my own laptop.
    I've only been on EC on a family computer once or twice and I didn't even then.

    Nah. I use my own personal laptop and I'm out to everyone anyway. Although I too appreciate the wonders of Incognito windows. Very useful for covering up other sorts of... stuff. JUST in case.

    don't have to since i own my own laptop now. only thing is since my door doesn't have a lock, i have to always have to be prepared to put my hands on the mouse to click the minimize logo at the top right of the screen when somebody decides to knock or open my door without asking.

    Not me. My computer is password protected. If I am using my mother's (or someone else's) laptop, I just private browse.

    On the computer I'm currently using, which is the family one at home, I never bother – Mom knows about EC, and before I came out to her I just figured that she wouldn't think to check my history/wouldn't know how. On Dad's laptop that I sometimes use, I've worked out that if I go to a different site on the tab with EC and then shut the window, it won't remember anything but the different site.

    Nope, I don't clear it. It's also on my top visited sites. Parents dont use the computer and my siblings have their own computer as well.

    I have my own computer so I don't clear it. But if I use EC at school or on a family computer I will erase the browser history.

    I'm the only one who uses my laptop, and Firefox deletes my history/cookies/cache when I close the program.

    I used to when I was still in the closet, but I don't anymore. I'm not that bothered if people see me on it, most of my friends and immediate family know about my sexuality anyway. It's only in the presence of certain extended relatives that I would have to be careful but it's not like I see them much so it's not really an issue.

    Before coming out, I'd have it open in another window so I could hide it, pretending to be on another site if anyone passed by (my computer died before I started coming here, so I had to use the family PC), and then I'd erase my presence after leaving. Now that I'm out, I don't care.
