Your Google searches may be visible to your husband if you're signed into the same Google account or if you have shared access to devices. To ensure privacy, sign out of shared accounts, use incognito mode for private searches, and review account activity settings on Google to manage shared data. Clearing browsing history regularly can also help maintain privacy.
