I do the opposite. Always wipe all history whenever browser is closed, never sync anything, and never prompt to store passwords. I find it much more manageable.

Passwords go in the password manager.

Instead of history I use tagged bookmarks or a notes file (obsidian.md) with actual notes about why I wanted to save that link.

If I actually ever want to sync anything between work and home PC or to/from my phone (rare), it's an explicit choice to plug into USB and drag it over, or intentionally put it in dropbox. Not just something that just randomly implicitly happens or sometimes doesn't.

But different strokes for different folks.
