Me too. Unless explicitly removed, once I visited a page, I visited it
and it should be available after 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or (ahem,
theoretically 1 century). We need a practical implementation that will
get us closest to this.

I guess I will add a tool to remove specific browsing history (based
on date and URL) from the index. Then it is upto the user (and apps,
extensions) to take care of removing them at their sweet will. Privacy
dealt by the users themselves - as they wish.
