    I feel like if browser history was invented today people would have the same reaction to it.

      Browser history was implemented before companies massively abused privacy.
      It was an honest feature for users.
      We also learned a lot about security regarding password/credential extraction from browsers.

      Windows Recall might be an honest feature. It might be super secure and really useful.
      But Microsoft doesn’t have the trust to pull this off
