Severely underwhelming mobile browser history

I wanted to use this space to address the Firefox Android's awful browser history interface.

I made a complaint six years ago in which one of the issues I had with the mobile browser was that trying to search through history was a miserable experience. Six years, three phones, and numerous updates later, absolutely nothing has been fixed. The mobile browser STILL does not separate entries by date, and when one searches by website the only options are "Firefox Suggests" instead of an actual chronological listing of what pages were visited.

Yes, I know that bookmarking pages would alleviate this issue. I typically do, but I'm human and can forget to do that. And no, syncing both the desktop and mobile browser histories is not a valid excuse, not when other mobile browsers were able to do this without relying on desktop versions for over a decade.

And so I ask again, is there a better way to view the browser history. And if not, could Mozilla PLEASE actually implement an actual UI that properly organizes search history. I enjoy Firefox's privacy measures and I really do not want to go back to Chrome, but I need to also have a browser that doesn't feel like I'm pulling teeth just to use something so basic.
