They used to have another interface for this which was way more powerful, and let you delete all your history for a service at once (ie. delete all of your YouTube search history). This seems like a downgrade designed to make you work harder to erase your history, since you have to do it item by item.

Does this not work for you? You can delete by any time range, for any service.

Yep. And my trust in an entity goes down every time they make things obviously more difficult. They’re counting on users becoming tired of navigating or just careless, while technically complying with any laws because everything is “possible” by going “somewhere”. I loved the original Google and Facebook, both in terms of interface and behavior. The new versions of those companies/products are so bad that I have used them both less and less each week for years now.
