What the hell is a “Firefox” and a “Safari”??

går inte att ta bort historik på firefox din dumma jävel
Thanks for the article. Had a clarification for Safari on Mac.
If I was to click on the “Show All History” option and then select an individual item for deletion, do I need to delete the item from trash too (the equivalent of clear recycle bin as when I delete an items from Internet Explorer in Windows). Or is deletion of history a single step method with Safari. Thanks!
