Totally irresponsible. What if another person (colleague, family member, friend, spouse) opens this on your computer?

This should be opt-in, not opt-out!

If you are leaving your account logged in on a computer you are sharing that's kinda expected I'd say? The person could also just read all your emails, reset all your passwords or look at all your pictures.

Should browser history be opt-in, too?
