The Google Chrome history deletion feature has always been dog slow. I did read an explanation that it does some complex operations, but you have to wonder if it is deliberately made complex to make people avoid deleting their history, as it takes so long.

There is an end in sight: Firefox's. Mozilla has billion dollars and is cutting back on Firefox software development to focus on paying executives and pushing agendas.
You're either out of touch, or pushing an agenda yourself. Firefox is a great browser, a sensible choice without any flaws that exists RIGHT NOW, that does not add a weekly "feature" that encroaches the user's interests.

Just got this blocking modal. In mine, the title says “Turn on an ad privacy feature”. That is misleading to say the least. This is a privacy-invading feature, leaking summaries of my browsing history to anyone who wants to have a look.
