It is activated when the user dies. Well, or two weeks of inactivity
The browser for gamers Opera GX has a new feature, which, according to the developers, is designed to protect the reputation of the user after his death. The Fake My History feature will replace the browsing history with a completely innocent one so that no one will know about the user’s secret preferences. For this, by the way, it is not at all necessary to die for real: 14 days is enough not to use the browser. Or you can use the “Pretend I’m already dead” option, and then the changes will take effect immediately.
Even your grandmother could be proud: Opera GX has a fake browsing history
According to the developers, a fake browsing history will come in handy in case a partner, parent or roommate opens Opera GX and wants to know what the user was interested in while alive. In this case, they will be delighted with its impeccability and integrity, the browser team says: all real history will be deleted and replaced with a completely fictional one. “Free online personal growth courses”, “local volunteer projects”, “how to build a birdhouse” – such requests will be seen by a curious visitor to someone else’s Opera GX. “Even your grandmother could be proud of such a story,” the app’s developers say.
