Yes, but is it possible to turn the history off?

Do you have people logout between sessions? If so I believe you can address the privacy issue by using a login script to refresh the entire home directory of the default user. A "clean" reference version of the home directory is previously saved and stored in a management area (like in the machine's Library directory) to do the refreshing with. This is how we run our Macs at school and I'm pretty sure no part of the browser history crosses sessions (I will check though). This also has the added benefit of restoring all settings for the default user account at the beginning of each session. Of course this approach would depend on reliably logging out between users.
