To get their shared browser search history - you would have to have access to their logged in browser - but if they've cleared that, you'll be powerless to recover it. 

On a local machine - the best bet would be to either use complete deleted file recovery and recover the cache directory files that were deleted back to their proper place - but the easiest solution would be to have a backup from before the local history was deleted and restore that to a completely different machine. 

I mean - my guess is with a subpoena - Google or Microsoft both can provide "deleted" remote web browsing history to authorities  - and that deleting your web browsing history just means YOU, or anyone local on YOUR machine, can't see your web browsing history. Google and Microsoft still can. They don't ACTUALLY delete it. They archive it and make a new history list for you. 


But if you're logging in and sharing passwords, bookmarks, history and other web browser data remotely - other than cache - I don't think a local copy *is* stored. It is all in the cloud... someone else's computer - so once the flag is turned to make your current history inaccessible from your remote machine - you would have to talk to Google or Microsoft respectively - to get that - and unless you've got a Government TLA in your organization name and an army of lawyers - I doubt they would do that even for a very large and powerful corporation. 

Well, duckduckgo has joined the ranks of suckage and have truly bent over to the IP mob..

They are now blocking pirate site results and even sites for "YT-down-loaders", which their existence is unquestionably legal. 

I need to setup a yacy node and see how well it works.

The extreme and blatant Ukraine and flu-vid censorship has brought a lot of things to light i think, for the people that were clueless before.    Nothing else its causing alternatives to spring up, and older ones to be more viable.

Of course it means places like google are doubling down.

Web today is not how it was envisioned.   Client side processing broke it.

And if what you get out of it is that all browsers suck, then I think

the takeaway should be that the web sucks.

I was about to mention to IGnatius that, indeed, all browsers suck. The ones that don't suck due to their evilness suck because they lack necessary features by today's standards.

So i'm lazy.. is this a precedent in the US?

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/05/judge-rules-every-isp-in-us-must-block-pirate-sites-run-by-mysterious-defendants/

"It is further ordered that all ISPs (including without limitation those set forth in Exhibit B hereto) and any other ISPs providing services in the United States shall block access to the Website at any domain address known today (including but not limited to those set forth in Exhibit A hereto) or to be used in the future by the Defendants ("Newly Detected Websites") by any technological means available on the ISPs' systems. The domain addresses and any Newly Detected Websites shall be channeled in such a way that users will be unable to connect and/or use the Website, and will be diverted by the ISPs' DNS servers to a landing page operated and controlled by Plaintiffs (the "Landing Page")."

In this context i didnt think it matters what they were sharing as i wasn't going down the rabbit hole of 'guilt and punishment'. It was just "is this 'unilateral block' a prescient here in the US". i have not heard of one before in the US so i was wondering.

But to answer the question: They were an IPTV site, and yes i do think there are some 1st amendment issues. 

I vote clueless, and with luck overturned.

Enforceable, may not be that hard to enforce for the average user. Just hit the main backbone companies and major DNS providers " and we want proof you did it or we find you contempt of court and fine you".
