I try to know what pages I visit, as some website have drive by downloads. Whether they know it or not who can tell. Here is what I've been seeing. If it's not a pop-under, I can see it switch through multiple web addresses ending wherever they choose and often they land on different (same link, different website landing). Also, these add distributions pages have disabled the history and back button.

Question: Is there some way to record URL Traffic as to see the beginning address in the string? No screenshots as it happens to fast.

Open the Network Monitor (Ctrl+Shift+E), click the gear icon and enable "Persist Logs".

While this didn't solve my problem, I do appreciate the attempt. Not all the url feeds have information I can understand.
