I agree. I believe this project was started in totally good faith. I think one of the managers is on HN here?
I actually want this feature. My memory is awful and I am constantly going to Chrome's History function.
This feature isn't bad, I just want it encrypted locally with no telemetry, which sadly I realize most tech companies love spamming their products these days.
In my times at the MS mothership I never met any managers or developers that were malicious or had bad intent. Sometimes they were overly profit-motivated, but the conversations were always "How much can we price this feature at?" not "How can I make a really evil feature that I can sell?"
