Take full control of your browsing privacy. HistoryGuard lets you block specific URLs from being saved in Chromeโs history, so sensitive sites stay off the record โ all while keeping your data private on your device.

- RegExp Support โ Create flexible exclusion rules with regular expressions.
- Import & Export โ Back up your list or load rules from a file.
- Simple Interface โ Manage everything in just a few clicks.
- Local Storage Only โ Rules are stored on your device. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared.
๐ How It Works
1. Install HistoryGuard from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Add URLs or patterns to your exclusion list.
3. Browse normally โ visits to excluded sites will not appear in your history.
โ
Privacy & Permissions

- (2025-09-03) Saad: One of the best extensions ever! Ever since a few months ago Chrome has been cracking down on 'unsafe' extensions, my previous extension which did the same thing became no longer available. After so many months of struggling, I finally found this and after using it for the past 24 hours, can confidently say it is one of my top 3 extensions I have ever used. So easy & simple to use. Highly recommended!!!
