Password protect browsing history

I have a question about putting a password on my internet history. My girlfriend is a bit worried about the content I'm looking at on my phone and no amount of comforting seems to help. Is there a way to make the history undeletable, or password protect it so she can have control over it. She needs the piece of mind. I need to get rid of the headache!!!

I'll hunt around for you. I normally wouldn't post a reply without something that I at least consider useful to say, but I couldn't help it. This is the exact opposite of 99.9% of these types of questions I see on here:). I chuckled out loud when I read it.
 
I know, haha it's not the usual guy type question!
Being a male is working against me in this situation, guilty until proven innocent

Ok, so I have hunted for ways to do that in these forums and in the market. Hard to find anything in the "Clear Browser History" noise :rolleyes:.

In that market I looked for apps that back up this info, possibly into the cloud (so that maybe it would be available to her anytime she wanted to check) but was unsuccessful. I only found one app that specifically mentioned Browser History as a backup option and cloud storage as a benefit of the paid version. I would have shared but the reviews were pretty bad.

I know Titanium Backup will backup just about anything, and is in use by a large number of AF members and has an option for cloud storage. You may want to check their app out. I the backup route will get you the closest to what you want.

And I didn't look at any monitoring software, intentionally putting spyware on your phone just doesn't sit well with me. If someone know of something that is safe for the end user, and is reputable, let me know. I always like to learn something.:)
