This patch adds this startup parameter: "--keep-old-history"

Browser History which is older than 90 days will be preserved, instead of being automatically removed.

Extremely needed!

I do not agree with the practicality of this feature. Excessive historical records can seriously affect users' daily use and pose a severe challenge to synchronous server retrieval

Are you referring to the address bar?

I wonder if it would be possible to limit what the address bar retrieves by the age of the history entry.

I want this feature because I very often forget a place I've been to, say, 4 months ago. Like if I left off on an episode of a particular series, for instance.

As an aside that's unrelated to this feature request, it's always annoyed me that the address bar only retrieves 3 items from the Browser History. I wish it retrieved more than that.

Excessive historical entries can seriously affect performance and user experience

I'm not sure if this means "Yes" or "Why?"

In any case...

If you ever think up a way to have an "archived" Browser History that doesn't affect performance, I would really appreciate that.

This is impossible to achieve
When manually entering a website address in the address bar, it will automatically search for history records
Too many historical records may result in lagging pages, fake deaths, and other issues

Okay, thanks anyway.
