= Privacy = | |||
[moved from front page] | |||
Are there any privacy issues? Doesn't seem to be, as most (all?) of this information is already stored somewhere already, eg: history, cookies, etc. | |||
There are most certainly privacy issues, just as there are with history, cookies etc. Hence the proliferation of utilities that remove tracking footprints. | |||
Privacy can be an issue. Saving the detailed session includes elements of | |||
history, bookmarks. cookies, typed form information, etc.. and all of these | |||
have purge functions to erase tracks already implemented. The concept of | |||
saving session infos would seem to conflict with the desire for privacy. But | |||
need there be such a conflict? | |||
What about encrypting the saved session info, so that the files containing the data are not 'in plain language', readable in notepad. After a crash, perhaps a password would be required to re-open the last known session. Without the password, it opens to about:blank. | |||
