However, nowadays, Facebook has sort of become a marketplace, where you will come across multiple ads for different products, that companies are trying to sell on Facebook. Some products may be of interest to you, while some may not. Whenever you click on such ads, you will be directed to either their official website or the Facebook page, where you can interact and purchase the product if you like. Occasionally, products that looked great in the Facebook ad turn out to be completely different when you click on the link. When you click on such links, Facebook tracks your interaction and, based on that, will show you future ads. In such a case, clearing your Facebook browser history is a good step, as this will prevent you from seeing those unwanted ads, again and again, in your feed. Here are the different methods via which you can view your Facebook Messenger browser history:
