I found it desirable to be able to delete entries from the history list.
Following is the code that seems to work for me:
(defun eww-history-delete-entry ()
"Delete an entry from the eww history list"
(interactive)
(cond
((equal (buffer-name) "*eww history*")
(setq
current-point (point)
current-line (- (line-number-at-pos (point-max))
(line-number-at-pos)))
(with-current-buffer "*eww*"
(setq eww-history (append
(butlast eww-history current-line)
(last eww-history (1- current-line))))
eww-history-position
(min eww-history-position (1- current-line))
(eww-list-histories)
(goto-char current-point)))
((equal (buffer-name) "*eww*")
(setq
current-entry (- (length eww-history)
eww-history-position)
eww-history (append
(butlast eww-history current-entry)
(last eww-history (1- current-entry))))
(when (eq current-entry 1)
(setq eww-history-position (1- eww-history-position))\
)
(eww-restore-history
(elt eww-history eww-history-position))
(when (get-buffer "*eww history*")
(eww-list-histories)))
(t
(user-error "Current buffer is neither the eww buffer, \
nor the eww history buffer"))))

This might be nice for debugging purposes, but I don't really see the
need as a user command. Closing.

Please reconsider. The use case (my use case) is someone downlaoding
many pages for offline reading. Once offline, I browse the history list
for whatever I want to read first. Once a page is read, I delete it from
the history list. very useful for me.

Well, in that case you can just `C-x C-q' to make the buffer
non-read-only, and then kill off the lines you've read with `C-k', I
think?

That won't work in that the next time one presses H from the eww buffer
(eww-list-histories), any entries deleted with c-k will re-appear.

Well, don't do that. >"? Or rename the history buffer so that a new
one will be created.
Using separate eww buffers instead of using the history (for offline
use) may also be simpler.
