What is a .WEBHISTORY file?
The file extension .WEBHISTORY is associated with Safari Web History Files. These files are created by Safari, which is a web browser designed for Mac OS X. A .WEBHISTORY file contains data about web pages that the user has visited. This data includes the title of the web page and its URL (the web address).
The purpose of these files is to help Safari remember the websites that the user has visited. This is useful for recalling previously visited sites and for auto-completing web addresses when the user starts typing them into the browser's address bar. This feature speeds up the browsing experience by making it easier and faster to return to websites.
To open a .WEBHISTORY file, you can use the Apple Safari browser. Safari is included with the Mac OS X operating system, so if you are using a Mac, you likely already have this program installed.
By default, Safari saves .WEBHISTORY files in a specific location on your computer. You can find these files in the following directory: [user]/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History/. This directory is where Safari stores the history files it creates as you browse the internet.
