Browsing NSFW YouTube videos? Now you can ‘flip off’ browsing history

Good news for the privacy-conscious: YouTube now lets you decide whether or not it can keep track of your viewing history.

 

The app has a switch that a user can toggle to stop or resume keeping track of the videos the user watched, PC World reported.

 

"While having your video history can be convenient, it means giving Google a lot of information that turns into those sometimes creepy ads and video suggestions. If you want a bit more anonymity, now you can flip it off," it said.

 

The toggle switch is in the settings-privacy menu.

 

"Just as with the search history feature, turning it off in the Android version will do the same when you access YouTube on the desktop or through other platforms," PC World said. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
