How is that "more reasonable" ?
- olalonde 4y agoSaving the search history by default is probably a better UX for most users. You get autocompletion, it helps Google deliver better results, helps show more relevant advertisements, etc. Defaults are usually chosen to satisfy the most common use case. The use case described in the article (hiding searches from law enforcement) is relatively rare and shouldn't serve as the basis for a default, in my opinion. For users who value their privacy more, there are alternatives like DuckDuckGo.
- marssaxman 4y agoWhat would be unreasonable about it? This is a genuine question. I never did log into google for any searches, and I switched to DuckDuckGo some years ago with no fuss. It seems to me like a practical thing anyone might do if they don't want Google to track them.
