One of the less polished parts of the browser.

Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.

you can assume most people use the defaults

why would most people bother to disable the history when most don't even use ad blockers?

I would imagine most people who aren't using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.

Unless one shares a computer user with somebody, the privacy concerns of local history are nothing compared to connected features. There are many reasons people might use a browser other than chrome. Everybody disabling history is a strange assumption.

What makes you say that?

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think many people disable browsing history. Most people don't even open the settings they just use whatever is default.
