The current patch is much better for me personally: 'l' and 'r' now do
what they're supposed to do. But my ideal (short of any advanced 'tree'
mechanism), as I originally stated, would've been to _insert_ (rather
than _replace_) the new history at the position in the current history
where it's created (but I see that there's no SOP for that in (info
"(elisp) Minibuffer History"), and that there could be performance
implications).

Why not simply make 'eww-save-history' customizable?

TBH I don't think anyone would have been (ab)using it effectively
because each 'l' or 'r' made things more complicated; but the advantage
that *all* of history was available with 'H'.
(I'm using this patch and will let you know if I see anything amiss)
