Does Recall run entirely locally? I don't think your browser history gets sent out
- toyg 2y agoI expect it does, if you're using Chrome outside of Incognito Mode. Iirc, there is an opt-out about "web history" on the google account - which then disables some other things so that it annoys enough people into keeping it on.
- juancn 2y agoIt does, that's why it needs an NPU to run.
- al_borland 2y agoIt does, but who's to say insights in gains won't ever be sent back and used/sold?
- layer8 2y agoThe vulnerability is that the first thing any malware that happens to run on the PC will do is upload the Recall database, giving the attacker your entire usage history since installation (and of any other user account on the same PC). This can then be analyzed for worthwhile targets for scams and blackmailing.
- navjack27 2y agoMy browser history does. It's synchronized with every edge instance that I have running. I can open up the tabs from my mobile browser on my desktop and I could see the browser history from everything on everything.
