How to make the standard clear history respect the whitelist of exeptions

I've searched and I'm 99% sure there noting to do other then 3rd party extensions which I don't want to do. After recent months of ESR update, the legacy clear history menu is no longer available (I know they removed it).

Well the cookies and site data used to be separated so I could clear history and not be logged out of Microsoft email account.

Now I have to un-check cookies/site data along with site settings. I tried adding allow to the exceptions in settings but that still cleared the cookies/site data. After some research, it seems ONLY when you select delete history on close, that's the only time it respects the allow list in exceptions.

I guess this is more of a suggestion. Would be nice if the standard clear history wouldn't clear whatever website that is in the exceptions allow list for cookies/site data.

Thanks.
