The full list will include third parties that shared your activity with Facebook in the past 180 days. Clicking "Clear History" will delete this information that Facebook has saved.
In my case, over 600 apps and websites had shared my browsing history with Facebook.
To turn this tracking off, click on "Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity" from the menu on the right side of the screen.
