.

does the "clear browsing history " not remove that history now ?

Before the PARANOID (and we know whom) ;) starts jumping up and down, like all the settings they can be disabled--- This is called "learning what your operating system can do" :p

This is just one good thing about preview builds (insider), by the time it goes public you can learn all the new options. :D

EDITED: in the article -
It’s worth noting that this feature doesn’t clear of the data Microsoft collects about you, Again, can be turned off :) BUT these people who complain also don't seem to care that their browsers are sending info ( no matter what OS), smart phones tack and collect data ya de ya de ya :D

1449025 2018-04-30 08:26:00 Right, so nothing new then.
You can clear history, you gave me the impression you couldn't.

As for seeing where someone went, there ARE other places browsing history lurks, and clearing it from the actual browser doesn't wipe that out.
It's how I used to check if someone denied going to certain sites. But any tech would know that....

I can think of situations where not having porn in the history is good, like when the kid goes on, my GD knows about history, it would be rather awkward if she was to find something like that in her parents PC.

Lucky there isn't....

You're dead right theres other places, but cant go giving away all the "secrets" eh !!

Mind you any tech worth doing a job would also keep up with the play, and not bury their head in the sand when the manufactures move onward with technology, there's lots that don't want to learn something new, and soon get left behind. This goes for ALL OS's be it Windows, Linux or iOS.

The new timeline, the majority of "general Users" wont have a clue its there

But I'm not a tech anymore, I stopped before I installed Linux.
You know that, you bought some of my stuff.

Oh excellent, so by your own admission, there are numerous sneaky and secret access points where Microsoft can gather your information.

I can see the headlines, “Microsoft, major suppliers of Spyware”. :rolleyes:

I can see the headlines, “Microsoft, major suppliers of Spyware”. :rolleyes: its the programs that gather /store the information. Programs Like Firefox, Chrome and many others. just because you use linux B.M Doesn't mean any of your info isn't being sent back to whom ever.

As I mentioned in the Linux post -- Read that linux 18.3 sends info back to the developers -- Surprise :)

ANY how -- just checked and the upgrade is coming through, you wouldn't know it by the computer, NO speed drop, working 100%, lets see how long it takes.

1449030 2018-04-30 21:37:00 Well that upgrade was quick. Got a message pop up saying it needed to reboot, several options, Clicked reboot, went and had my shower, came back and all set to go waiting for me to enter the login password. wainuitech (129)
1449031 2018-04-30 21:57:00 I have been reading the fine print on the insiders page and understand that if the latest W10 update is installed 'Group Policy' editor will no longer work. If this is the case I will once again be continually interrupted by automatic updates. mzee (3324)
1449032 2018-04-30 22:11:00 Once again, nothing really compelling in this update.

If you're running Firefox, you might want to upgrade to 59.0.3 - www.ghacks.net
