Why would anyone want to read someone else’s surfing history?
Confirming people’s suspicions? Nah, I don’t worry about that much.
Wouldn’t bother me; doesn’t bother me when I’m alive either. A neighbor comes over and lets mty dogs out if I’m working a long day, I never think to close out my browser or clear history. I usually have an eclectic range of tabs open but very rarely anything I don’t want someone to see.
A good friend of mine has my PayPal password. I do get residual payments to that account about once a month; nothing big but I figure should I shuffle off this mortal coil, someone else might as well spend that money.
Murdering 3 million people because of ethnic hatred pretty much tops off my atrocity meter, higher numbers couldn’t make me more horified. As for Stalin, I remember reading (somewhere)that he was planning on deporting all Jews to a Gulag on the Mongolian border, but he died before he could bring it to action
[spoiler]Stalin did propose a “Jewish Autonomous Zone”. Moving to it was voluntary. It still is not clear if his plan was-
Put all the troublemaking Jews in one spot and let them do whatever they wanted as long as they paid taxes and kept within their own borders.
Or
Put all the Jews in one spot, then kill them all.
Jews kind of figured that it was the latter. Besides which, the land in the proposed JAZ was cold and no good for farming[/spoiler]
Back To The OP
Come to think of it, my main concern would be the destruction of those pictures and videos various lovers have given me of themselves. With some exceptions, those were for my eyes only and I’d like to keep it that way.
Not too concerned; my wife is the only one with access. The only thing that would raise an eyebrow is the porn. Not that there is some- she already knows that- but some of it would make her go “WTF- he was into that???”
Haven’t quite worked out a way to securely deposit the pertinent information in a way that is accessible to people after (and only after) I die, but still handy enough for me to update as and when I change passwords, etc.
As an agent of the K’Thran, all of my activity (online and otherwise) is recorded via chronoscope.
Therefore, the question is meaningless to me.
Of course, there is the other issue of my immortality, but I am forbidden to speak about that to anyone outside of the Council.
ETA: Wait! Did I actually post that?
I have put passwords, account details and investment funds on a piece of paper, stored in a family member’s fireproof safe, although it’s probably totally out of date so I guess I should repeat the process. Or not, as I don’t intend on dying anytime soon. I reckon banks, investment firms and whatnot have processes for these types of events but there are a lot of places my family wouldn’t know where to look.
As to the OP - no worries at all as I don’t go anywhere online that might be viewed as unsuitable. Cookies and other seemingly innocuous software etc can track exactly where you go and store it in a server, unless you’re using public computers and not signing on whilst you’re there.
All silliness aside, I actually retained an attorney to handle my affairs after my inevitable demise.
Not because I am that wealthy (though I do own things and property), but because I am very private in my affairs.
Now that my dear wife has departed this mortal coil (was that too fanciful?), I only have myself to answer to and my offspring (all grown and living elsewhere) shouldn’t be left in the lurch when I die.
So, though there are areas on my system that are genuinely private (as they should be), the other encrypted financial sections are decodeable by my attorney (or her firm) so that my financial affairs can be handled properly. Given that my eldest is also my executor, I think I am well covered.
You are all welcome to look at my browser history. I guess I lead a pretty dull online life.
Not much else anywhere on my disk that would interest anyone either, except my file of passwords.
I am pretty boring, I don’t watch porn online, we have a few discs that we have for the heck of it, mrAru knows my taste in sex/porn so nothing would be a surprise there. We share bank accounts, nothing surprising there. We share a house and barn, and he is the one that schleps boxes of stuff back and forth for me, no surprises there. We share the same MMORPGs and are in the same guilds/corps/kinships so no surprises there. He goes to doctors appointments with me, no surprises there.
Though I might set up my laptop to do the autowipe thing from CCleaner, and all those privacy suggestions just to screw with people 
it is pretty stripped down - I store my ebooks and music in the desktop, and only really have steam and its games, and my MMORPG files on the laptop. I finally messed around and got a gmail account and do my email online now. I do have a small file of about 200 LOLs that I use as desktops.
Leave the computer booted up, auto-run that utility every night at midnight, and you can probably get up to at least a little mischief safely ;).
Speaking of which, what utilities do you use for those tasks? We have nothing interesting on our computer, but automating a free-space wipe and recycle dump sounds like a useful housekeeping task.
I read an article somewhere in the past few months, where a fellow once a year writes a letter to the family, saying exactly where all the documents are, list of passwords, etc. - which would help in such a situation. I think he keeps it in a sealed envelope. So the family would just go to that envelope and have all the info they needed.
Of course if you have someone risky in the family, like a ne’er-do-well sibling or kid, with physical access to where you have that envelope stored, it might be chancy.
We have all our passwords etc. in a password vault on our handhelds (and stored securely online), accessible only via a “master password” that we don’t have written down anywhere (though per the above, I think we should). Our bank accounts are listed in Quicken (which has an online backup in that same location). So while it might not be super-easy for someone to wind things up, at least the info is all in two easy-to-reach places.
Regarding anything not-nice on the computer, I doubt there’s much to worry about.
Hell, they wouldn’t have to search my history–just look at my Favorites.
