I get why you'd be okay with history being locally saved, but saving cookies is a slippery slope. It's very hard to know exactly what's being recorded on you, even on a privacy-focused browser

As soon as you log in and then allow a website to auto login on your computer, you just give up any anonymity you had towards that website

I do block all third party cookies/known tracking cookies, so it's not totally open. But you're right. It's just that in my case that's a compromise I'm alright with for general internet use.
