It's less bad for sure. And I can understand, theoretically, the value of "that one think I saw that one time". I've definitely spent way longer than I'd want looking for some random reference I'd seen in the past, and I'm in the process of trying to catalogue all the references in my past nonfiction reading after the fact, and it's definitely a lot of work.
But man, other users on your PC could trivially see everything you did on your system unless you used the dumpster fire that's edge in private browsing mode, and the people on the project thought that was OK. There's no way people with that level of lack of awareness managed to adapt the project to not be a sieve.
