Can browsers block recall recording as well?

I'll add that to every site manage

Let recall literally record only black boxes, fuck Microsoft

Given this reality, private messaging apps like Signal deserve to be treated with at least the same level of caution that’s afforded to a web browser’s private or incognito browsing window — which Microsoft has already excluded from Recall by default.

I'd like it to be an HTTP header that will blacken the browser for recall. I don't want recall to look at my banking website, just as an example.

Hell, I don't want Recall, period, but I mean, if I managed a banking site, I'd want to know that a million customers aren't inadvertently feeding their private banking info to some shitty AI

They can, but this wouldn't be a website thing, it'd be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same "DRM for a good cause" approach Signal is using.

It could be something that websites could then tell the browser using a header or meta tag

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd still want the browser to at least be able to do it as a default, not at the whim of specific sites.
