Hi, this one might seem like its from a bit left field, but bear with me please. I'm currently a medical student and have run into some women in clinical practice who have been victims of domestic violence. When looking up what resources are available, I came across this website - http://www.dvrcv.org.au/ - where I immediately noticed the large exit button. Whilst this may help a few, I would imagine that some women have been victimised in the past when their browsing and search histories have been discovered - I have met women who have been assaulted when organisation business cards or hotline numbers have been found in their purses. I don't see why a record of such searches needs to be kept by browsers or on the users machine - I feel the inconvenience to the majority of having to re-type the search is outweighed by the safety benefit to a minority. Thanks for your time, - F
