Ah, makes sense (though one of those Librewolf default settings is to delete your history and cookies on logout). I went with Waterfox myself because I don't consider my privacy needs to outweigh my convenience preferences that much, but it's really good that Librewolf exists for those that do want privacy at the cost of annoyances. Being able to have that "fully hardened" experience in one click is huge, since the Venn diagram of "people with strict privacy needs" and "people with tech skills" is not a circle.

It’s the default? Might be, I’ve probably changed on day 1 and went on with my life.

Another option for the technically inclined is to create a second profile in their Firefox fork of choice and apply Arkenfox to it. It does require user discipline to open untrusted sites only in that profile, but works.

When I did research a couple days to decide between Librewolf or Waterfox or Floorp, I checked out Librewolf's excellent FAQ page, which says that by default it purges history.
