OperaGX Browser Ensures Your Browser History Disappears After Death
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Decrypt
OperaGX, the internet browser company, has introduced a new feature called "Fake My History" that acts as a "deadman switch" to automatically delete and replace a user's browsing history with a fake version. The feature is designed to protect users' privacy after they pass away or in less extreme cases, such as switching to a different browser. OperaGX generates random history links, including wholesome searches like volunteer opportunities and online courses, to replace the original browsing history. This feature aligns with the growing trend of tech companies addressing the privacy and social media preferences of deceased users.
