Interesting. I have been thinking of building something just like this. Basically by using a web proxy that logs all my traffic (after all, 95% of things happen on the web these days). There's actually some tools for this purpose already.
However, this would be such a treasure trove for bad people that I'd have to secure it so damn well that I didn't really think about it. Of course I'd have to break open TLS using a MITM certificate which is a whole can of worms.
However if I would do this it is something I'd want FULL control over. I definitely don't want to give it all up to Microsoft and trust their blue eyes. Nope. Really nope. Their track record of things like Edge is so bad, first introducing a nice tool and as soon as it gets a tiny bit of market presence they start milking it already (think things like the shopping bar, or the buy-now-pay-later scams in edge).
- psd1 2y agoI hate being the product for ad-targeting for visceral reasons, but it's benign compared to my days falling into the hands of someone who wishes me harm. There are other companies that I work harder to keep my metrics away from than from MS. MS at least makes money from things other than ads. But I don't trust Microsoft to secure that data. If Google did this product, I would have lower expectation of my screen recordings ending up on the dark web.
