History working at all is a more recent change. Previously, if you disabled location history it would only remember POIs that you navigated to. Not addresses. And it allowed you to add local bookmarks, but didn't let you name them. Hav

The author specifically criticizes IPFS and others, who do not care for privacy, and rightly so. However, this is not inherent to the technology. There are others who do, such as https://gnunet.org
