There's a lot of negatives such that I certainly would never want it, but the ability to search everything I've ever looked at would be handy.

the idea is good, but the reality is it gives anyone the ability to search everything you've ever looked at. If the data exists it can be exploited. for ill or profit

I really don't need a screenshot of my bank login or account numbers in the cloud 🤷🏽‍♀️ it's a cool concept in theory, I'll give it that, but reality is harsh.

To clarify, it's not stored in the cloud in this iteration... although storing it even locally is a risk.
