The problem I see here is that it only improves the situation if it is truly universal - if a central privacy control offers an option to "remove my recent activity from the last 2 hours", it'd better clear my firefox/chromium cookies as well(*). Otherwise users will either have to know about implementation details, or will end up with a false sense of control. Also - if I want to hide my recent "activity" on http://www.furnitureporn.com/, should that really affect funnycat1.png in recent files or my chat history with @fiancé? I am not saying that a central tool is bad per se, just that a feature like that should be designed *before* pushing a technology that implies a certain design. Regards, Florian (*) Maybe Canonical's downstream panel does that, I don't know - they are in a much stronger position here than we are upstream
