"History sniffing" promises a nose full of dust or, you're talking about web browsers, a whiff of the websites you've visited.

And that may be enough to compromise your privacy and expose data that allows miscreants to target you more effectively with tailored attacks. For example, a phishing gambit that attempts to simulate your bank login page has a better chance of success if it presents the web page for a bank where you actually have an account.
