New Feature Activity Log Privacy Breach
« on: April 13, 2013, 08:29:30 PM »
The activity log should have a function the allow the user to erase the log. There is a potential privacy issue with URL's visited and held in the activity log. The pin allowing access is easily circumvented as the overflow data is stored on the SD card making it easy for anyone to remove the card and read the txt file. Give the user the choice to either delete the activity log or turn off recording of the URL's to the activity log

Hi,

that's actually a good point. We'll do something about it.

You can turn off the logging to SD card completely from app Settings.

Thanks for the really quick response.  Maybe I'm being too sensitive or cautious but I really want to be able to clear my browsing history.  I'll work something out.
