Yes, that's what I meant by writing: [quote] Anyway, I guess the actual history is kept either inside SQLite or some other means and it is not possible to clear it from either WebKit2GTK or GTK+2/GTK+3 API.

So considering all this I think I will need some kind of way to store the browsing history nd then a way to clear it up.
