Would recommend picking random URLs from an array.This is a good idea that deserves to be across all Police, Help, Domestic Violence, 911, Suicide Hotline, etc sites across all countries.
Been there for probably decades, yet another thing mostly known to/used by "advanced" users.
E.g. go to govt.nz and scroll to the bottom. There's a little icon of a computer that opens a popup element inside the page.
It gives information for victims of domestic violence and abuse.
> If you are experiencing family violence, don't worry, the information within this pop-up won't appear in your browser's history.
Pages like Banks or Council websites have it in their footer, so people can lookup information without it appearing in their history
If you need to hide your browsing history from an abusive partner, it would be more secure to use incognito mode and hit Alt+F4 when you need to escape. Unfortunately, Chrome renders incognito windows in dark mode by default. If you're normally on light mode, the transition is extremely conspicuous. Edge and Firefox do the same. It's as if all browser vendors have colluded to make it difficult to browse in secret.
