I guess that's fine, but what I want is no browser history at all except for back-forward navigation purposes. In Firefox, there's an about:config flag that completely turns off history when set to false. Not sure which one. The effect is that nothing ever shows up in History or History > All History, with the exception of the Recently Closed Tabs section, and the URL bar autocomplete doesn't reference anything that you've navigated away from.
Not that I'm doing anything bad on the internet, but what I found is not holding info about history in memory or on disk made things a little snappier and I just prefer what I do to be ephemeral unless otherwise opted in to. And yeah, I know that cookies and local storage are a thing, but that's really not the point.

Nice, I didn't know that.

Yeah, Firefox has a similar problem but my perception is it happens less often than with Chromium/Chrome.
