Why each option
Browser history logs record all websites a user has visited, making them the direct source for this type of investigation.
Event Viewer records Windows system, application, and security events - not browser navigation history.
History logs, stored in the user's web browser, contain a chronological record of every URL visited, including timestamps. This is the most direct and efficient place to find website browsing activity without requiring network-level capture tools. Each major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) maintains this log locally in the user's profile.
A network sniffer captures live network traffic packets and would not show historical browsing records already completed.
System logs record OS-level events such as service starts, crashes, and hardware changes - not user browsing activity.
