--- Comment #5 from Ivan Čukić <ivan.cukic at kde.org> ---
If we collected a few toggles related to privacy, we could have a 'privacy
centre' item in the system tray. For example:

 - disable usage tracking for the current activity
 - forget recent usage history
 - allow network searches in KRunner
 - ...

I don't see another plausible solution - putting a 'forget' menu into
everything that shows recents, plus a button somewhere close to allow
discretely 'forgetting' (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353229) would be
quite a UI problem.


> and the bugginess of the implementation.

Off topic:

Almost all bugs we have had over the years (since plasma 4 days) are due to
people storing non-normalized URIs in KA or changing format of the URIs between
versions thinking KA will magically know that konsole, applications:Konsole,
applications:/Konsole.desktop.whatever, /usr/share/...desktop are the same
thing.

I was thinking of changing the API to force the user to set the allowed URI
format before allowing reporting URIs, but that would just make it more
difficult to make mistakes, not impossible.
