Simply convenience. The feature exists within Safari, see below:

I have tried to see if the frequently visited did the same but I couldn’t get it to pull anything up:

I understand the trash bin does what I’m suggesting but that also clears out my active login’s, I wouldn’t mind it but it keeps history of pages in secure sites causing said sites to flag me as a bot, I’m behind a VPN; for ‘multiple’ logins which makes it a headache and the long list triggers my OCD. Safari has this feature. I used to get around this by using the gesture to close but I see that has been patched, to my dismay. Love the browser for its strong content blocker/adblock pre-built! Thanks for all your hard work!
