The browser for gamers is helping you say
goodbye to your embarrassing internet history.
OSLO,
Norway, July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera GX,
the browser for gamers by Opera [NASDAQ:OPRA], now protects your
reputation after death with "Fake My History," an all-new feature
that will replace your questionable browsing history with a clean
slate after your death (or two weeks of inactivity) so you don't
have to worry about anyone discovering your guilty pleasures
online.
Here's how it works: Continue browsing like you normally would;
stumble upon your thousandth cat video, dive headfirst into
conspiracy theory rabbit holes, and yes, even indulge in some
occasional X-rated content. But after 14 consecutive days of
inactivity, Opera GX will make a reasonable assumption – that
you've fallen into a bottomless pit, gotten smacked in the head
with a turtle shell, or chosen to punish yourself by switching to
another browser.
As a parting gift, Opera GX will graciously replace your
browsing history with an entirely fictional, yet surprisingly
pleasant, version - in case your nosy partner, parent or roommate
opens Opera GX and sneaks a posthumous peek at your history, they
can marvel at your bogus yet impeccable online tastes and the
charmingly fictional exploits that fill your digital past. Bask in
the glory of a phony yet plausibly sanitized browsing history that
rivals the innocent escapades of the internet's most virtuous users
with fake web searches like "local volunteer opportunities," "free
online courses for personal growth," "how to encourage voting in my
community," "how to build a birdhouse," and more upstanding queries
that would make your grandma proud.
"In life, there are no saves, respawns or checkpoints - anything
can happen. When it does, what will you be remembered for? The Lara
Croft body pillow you ordered online? With 'Fake My History,' we're
wiping the slate clean and replacing your scandalous digital
shenanigans with a totally fake version of your browsing past,"
said Maciej Kocemba, Product
Director, Opera GX.
Upon opting in, users can have their browser history
automatically deleted after 14 consecutive days of inactivity and
replaced with a carefully selected, pre-defined set of various
URLs. To not keep them waiting, they can also select the "Pretend
I'm Already Dead" box and the feature will immediately go into
effect.
