- Terr_ 8y agoPerhaps not that specific option which controls some smaller facet of sharing and recommendations, however but it's definitely the case when you turn off syncing "Web & App Activity" with the Google panopticon. Where the history would usually be, there's just this nagging message: > To see your home and work, past searches, and other suggestions tailed for you, turn on Web & App Activity. ...Which, as mentioned already, misleadingly implies that local-history features are difficult or nonstandard.
