She would if Putin asked...

Have they checked Mar-a-lago?

Hmmm... maybe. It would still be easier to just forget the past five minutes without actually closing whatever I have open in the browser. I also still wish I could just tell it to not track closed tabs at all.

It's mostly from clicking links on Lemmy... sometimes the content isn't what I would expect or there isn't enough information to even have an expectation before clicking. After clicking there are sometimes things that pop up that I don't want in my history. Another common use case is that a new porn site will pop up in the Lemmy feed and I don't want to see it. In order to block it I have to visit the page. So after I block the page I clear my history.

You're putting up a false-equivalency. It may well be that a bunch Ukrainian soldiers die and Russia takes over anyway. It might be that they don't put up a fight and others step in. (Highly unlikely, but not a forgone conclusion.) There are other scenarios that might play out.

On the other hand, either Trump or Harris absolutely will be the next POTUS. Which one do you want it to be? Answer the question this time... no explanations required for your choice. Which one do you choose?

Are you deciding afterwards that you want to forget those pages?

Frequently, yes... There's also some pages/content on sites where you have to be logged in. Yeah, you could go private and login, but that's just more steps. I just want to hit a button and have it nuke the last 5 minutes of my browsing without closing my current tabs/browsers.

I’m prepared to risk a Trump presidency

You're not taking a risk. You are promoting a Trump presidency. If you can't or won't accept reality then there is no need to continue this conversation.

I'm telling you the reality that Harris or Trump will be the next POTUS. Which one do you want it to be?

No, I'm using the 'Forget about some browsing history' button. You can selectively remove some entries just from history, but that still leaves them in your recent tabs list. If you just want the last 5 minutes of browsing gone then you have to do the rewind and that closes all tabs/instances.

I'm saying that Harris or Trump will be the next POTUS and all you can do right now is express your preference on which one you want it to be.

If you're driving down the road and you come to a situation where you can either run over a person or hit a telephone pole then you have to decide what to do. You can gripe and moan about your situation and how you don't want to either one, but that doesn't change the reality. If you choose to not make a choice then the choice will be made for you and you'll have to live with the consequences.

You can deny reality all you want, but Harris or Trump is going to be the next POTUS. Which one do you want it to be?

• It's not super simple to setup multiple, completely separate profiles like it is in Chrome
• I never, ever visit google.com while I do visit gmail.com at least daily. Yet, when I type 'g' the suggestion is always google.com
• I visit m.fark.com on my phone quite frequently. Firefox on my phone randomly decides I want to do a google search for 'm.fark.com' instead of visit the site
• I don't want the recently closed tabs to be tracked and listed, yet there is no way to turn that off
• If the menu bar is displayed the the first browser tab is left aligned. If the menu bar is turned off then the first browser tab is indented for no obvious reason.
• I don't think I can clear my history without it closing all of my Firefox instances and making me reopen everything.

There's no one thing that is a show-stopper... just little annoyances.

It's not firefox's fault, but I still use music.youtube.com and google hangouts and there's no option to treat them like standalone apps like there is with chrome.
