A little incident today convinced me further that we need a Setting for History sync (apart from the fact that it caused all the 1887 crashes in L5 Beta 1).
I cleared History, observed the nice blank space and 3s later it came back! It might have been a sync'd version as there was Sync activity, but from where? Totally useless to me. I like to know it is local for the rare occasion I use it. I appreciate that many would like it for their devices, but all the more reason for choice in this matter.
Please provide a setting so I can keep it local and clear it without prejudice.
