Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer can be tricked into revealing your browsing history by unscrupulous web site owners.

The new vulnerability is similar to one that was discovered, then patched, in the major browsers several years ago. The new technique uses a different approach to accomplish the same thing.

Browser developers are working on fixes for this vulnerability, but in the meantime, anyone concerned about their browser history potentially being revealed should get into the habit of clearing their history frequently. Alternatively, you could switch to a privacy-oriented browsing solution such as the Tor Browser Bundle.
