Time Stamp Data for Safari Browsing History

Followed the instructions on this prior post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7958461

My library files are not same. There is no Metadata directory under Caches directory. The Metadata Directory is its own directory but no cache history for Safari. We are using Safari 12.0.2 on MacBook Air.

Please let me know how best to see the time stamp on browsing history. We can see the date that the site was accessed but not the time during that date. Thanks!

Both High Sierra and Mojave, now incorporate browser history within a binary sqlite3 database contained in the ~/Library/Safari folder. It is no longer stored in the ~/Library/Caches folder.

Within the history database, the date/time information is stored as a floating point value. Effectively, this history information is not available to the end user, unless a fair degree of SQL experience within sqlite3 databases is known.

Apple does not provide a Terminal interface to iOS, and any history data would be similar to the preceding, and unavailable to the user.
