you cannot store the history in memory and survive a reboot, unless you write the memory to disk, then read into memory from disk on boot, but even then the history is being stored on disk and so is recoverable. surviving a reboot is necessary since the point of storing history is to make it accessible later, otherwise you would use incog/private mode, or stronger. I don't know what it is you think I don't think is possible

- boomboomsubban 6y agoIt stores history though, go log into any site in incognito mode. It has the same problem your original post highlights, and is an example of a situation where your history not surviving a reboot would not be an issue.
- 867-5309 6y agoof course it doesn't actively store history. it doesn't wipe the storage medium so may leave a trace, but that's different. if a browser says it is wiping then there should be proof of this, instead of the "just trust us" stance which the article rightly highlights as dangerous
