How can Newegg remember my recently viewed items despite deleting all their cookies? I'm using Firefox with adblock plus, no script, and ghostery. Third party cookies are disabled as well as tracking. Cache is emptied on browser close. This is really bothering me, something here isn't behaving.
Edit: I clicked on a Newegg item page listing that's in my recently viewed list in my Firefox history to forget it. I just wanted to forget that one page but it ended up forgetting all my Newegg history. But that killed off the whole recently viewed item list that's shown towards the bottom of Newegg's main page. So Newegg's home page is apparently directly accessing stored browser history. I feel this is... not OK.
Edit 2: I tried this in Chrome. The recently viewed items on newegg.com go away by deleting cookies/cache but without having to also delete browsing history. Can someone else confirm what I'm finding here?
