Yeah, Chrome's history options are weird. Why would I want to delete newer stuff first? It really should be the other way around--older stuff first. Or better yet, an option to delete individual items.
When I'm researching and clicking links left and right, I often reach a lot of dead ends. Because Google search is so good, I rarely bookmark the site once I find it, instead relying on the omnibar. Unfortunately, the omnibar always suggests the wrong entry in the history. I want to delete those bad entries so they don't show up in the omnibar.

- krakensden 15y agoYou want to delete recent history because you're covering your tracks (porn, "how to get a divorce", etc). Those history clearing options predate private-mode browsing. They don't have expiry because the browser makers figure if it gets slow, it's a bug, and I'd bet most browser developers wind up trashing their profiles all the time anyway.
