By the way I think that browser history should be disabled by default too.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoBrowser history is useful to user (but maybe the access to it could be restricted by means of authentication). I'm fine with off-line browser history that's accessible only to the user (and not JS running on a website). But sending any of it over the wire should definitely be opt-in.
- codedokode 10y agoAn unexperienced user might not know that the history is recorded and later can be accidently seen for example by other member of the family. A good software would not allow that. I remember some IM app for linux had history turned off by default. I was really surprised then.
