Are you worried that your parents or significant other will discover your favorite websites after you pass away? Should you be? Opera, the internet browser company behind OperaGX, has you covered with a new “deadman switch” feature: “Fake My History.” When triggered, it uses AI to swap your real browser history to a set of more wholesome sites.

A “deadman switch,” also known as a trigger or kill switch, is a tool that requires users to fulfill steps to provide proof of life and control of the machine. A deadman switch can also take the form of information or messages that disappear after a set amount of time, as supported by privacy-centric messaging apps like Signal.

Once enabled, the “Fake My History” feature, available on OperaGX compatible systems, acts as a deadman switch and will auto-delete the browsing history and replace it with a fake “but nice” version.

Users can test the feature by checking the box next to “Pretend I’m already dead.”

Once the user confirms they want to hide their history, OperaGX will generate random history links to replace the originals.
