I am a web developer and checked out the code myself. It looks secure and is very simple. Every two hours with a couple exceptions it deletes outdated webhistory beyond your set limit.

With a lot of boards using distinct URLs and no need to remember them for more than a couple of months, I think this would keep my history from getting too out of hand.

Firefox's most missed feature to delete history older than X days.

This took me far too long to find. Simple, concise, does exactly what I need.
