Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

Not trying to be obtuse here, but why are you pruning your history in the first place? Is someone auditing your browsing history? I’m personally not interested in removing my browser history for the most part - and certainly not frequently enough to notice this limitation.
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.
Probably simpler to just “Forget” the site from the site’s context menu in the history sidebar.
I think I clear mine like once a year
