Delete site data without deleting history?

more options

Hey,

I'm looking to delete site data without deleting my history. In the app under "Delete browsing data", the only way to delete site data is through "Browsing history and site data".

There must be a way to do this? It's easy to do on desktop. Deleting site data while keeping local history seems like a basic thing to ask, I don't understand why they are linked?

Would appreciate any help, I am otherwise really enjoying both the desktop and mobile browsers. However this is a very essential feature to me as I am looking for a privacy-oriented browser which I thought Firefox is supposed to be, though this seems like a very basic privacy feature that is just missing or hidden?

Thanks
