1. Reading the history of a person's web browser to see where they have been.
2. Pop-up advertising can be activated by active browser sniffing via spyware. The spyware senses that a person has searched for a term or that a term appears on a web page visited by the user and then a pop-up ad appears that is vaguely related to that term.
3. People that surf via unsecured wireless are likely to have their surfing sessions sniffed also.

nyone who sits behind a someone who is browsing the Internet and instructing them on what to click on or what to type into the address/search bar. Most appropriately applied when the advice or commands are unsolicited and/or unwarranted.

Those annoying ass people that hang over your shoulder while you're browsing the internet and instruct you what to do WHEN YOU REALLY DON'T WANNA HEAR IT.

The state of the art in concealing evidence of the myriad of pornographic content viewed on a computer. For some, porn browsers became obsolete with the addition of private or "incognito" modes to all the major browsers. However, these private browsing modes proved to be double-edged swords - wiping browsing history and thus increasing the amount of time spent moby dicking. To make up for this deficiency, porn consumers simply choose from a wide selection of second-tier modern browsers like Opera to browse for porn and other possibly embarrassing material while keeping their history/bookmarks intact. This strategy has almost completely eliminated the need for the age-old new folder or untitled folder.
Okay, with all the shortcuts to Chrome everywhere no one should ever try looking for my porn browser. Genius!
