I guess the root of your problem is that you sometimes need a browser search history without the browser snoopers, but your browser safeguards are unreliable and have a tendency to leak into a less private process.
Would it be simpler to just do your searches in a default-private browser like librewolf with history deliberately turned on? Safer failure behaviours, better separation from the main process.
Don't engineer the stupid out. People will learn how their oil and their vaporizer work in different environments. You would help them learn faster by making a system that is inherently less susceptible to variation.
we can start to play with heating curves
That's the part of the idea that resonates with me. If I could just make the heater do the thing I imagine is best in the moment, my experience would be much better.
