If a laptop’s router is connected to the home computers internet.. is it possible that the person on the laptop can view the browsing history on the home computer?
Only if they access the router.
It should also be noted that technical users can watch all network traffic, so if they have access to log files of past requests (from a router), or if they are monitoring the network themselves in real-time, yes.
Can a laptop DIRECTLY access the home computer to retrieve past browsing history? No.
Websites can access your past browsing history through cookies
yes, with a trojan or if the same person has physical access to both computers with other software that you can install.
