Search and analyze your unlimited history.

Image from store History Trends Unlimited
Description from store History Trends Unlimited regularly syncs your history to a local database to work around the (approximate) 3-month time limit imposed by Chrome. Your history is saved locally; it's never shared or sent over the network. Features: * Interactive charts and stats. Click any of the bar/line/pie charts to filter by a value. * Search your history by keyword. Or browse it chronologically. * Access the raw data to perform your own analysis. Click the "Export These Results" link on the Trends or Search page. * Transfer your history to a new computer. See instructions on the Options page. NOTES: * This extension now requires a minimum of Chrome v109. * Uninstalling this extension will delete all of the history it has saved. To create a backup of your history, use the "Export History" button on the Options page. * This extension stores your history separate from Chrome's history, which means 1) clearing Chrome's history will not delete your history in this extension, and 2) this extension will not preserve the color of links you have already visited.

  • (2024-06-03) Greg D: About once a month, this extension's local database fails and I have to uninstall it, reinstall it, and import my history (which takes like 15 minutes). This has happened 3 separate times since the SQLite migration. Update: No failures in the past few months, changing score from 2 stars back to 5
  • (2024-05-24) Omar: I absolutely love this extension. From the moment you start using it, it archives your entire history and even displays it clearly for future reference versus the vague text documents other programs may be limited to. I just wish I started using it 10 years ago, but I at least still have from 2015 onward. The ability to export in full or in increments and then import it all later even ensures the longevity of the history in case of accidents. Edit: I'll keep the rating decent, but I must mention that it is now inconvenient to use this extension due to regular data corruption. It's the fault of Google, but it's still a negative. Also, for users who had .tsv backups like me, be sure to change the extension to .txt and they will import. Edit 2: I'm not sure if my experience reflects the majority, but it became a lot less common for my history to erase itself, and it's now easy to restore it whenever it does. It could be a lot worse (such as the early days of this error).
  • (2024-02-26) Mike Fireson: This is great extension! But now I every time get crash DB, I delete old DB, import backups and after chrome restart and addon open have message about crash DB, and every time, I delete and import DB 5 times and every time this error, why??? (((((
  • (2024-01-23) Chahjadi Jong: Very useful extension to look back the pages that I've visited a long time ago. I've been using it since 2021, the extension is also well maintained. 2024 Edit: Developer is very helpful, and willing to help over email.
  • (2023-12-09) Sebastián Poëymirou: With the corruption thing going on does that mean that all the history I haven't backuped is gone? :(
  • (2023-11-24) Александр Марков: Theres restriction for saving history data, its about 1gb. After that number an error appears and extension dont work. I had four years of history backed up and now I had to start with a clean slate to make extension work fine.
  • (2023-11-14) Liam: Is uninstalling the extension then reinstall the only way to fix "database disk image is malformed" error? 21/10/2023 1: Can i import data from Google's My Activity 21/10/2023 2: Can i easily delete the extension' current history without uninstalling?
  • (2023-11-04) Tungzaja: Hello randy after the database change i did upload new history from back up it work just fine but today it say Error: SQLITE_CORRUPT: sqlite3 result code 11: database disk image is malformed edited: i just read faq nvm reinstall extension and import history again seem to be working fine now after remove some extension
  • (2023-11-03) Alexandra Del: I think I saved all my history as exported_analysis_history. It's a year and a half old and dated, but there just seems to be no way to load "Unrecognized return value from import-worker". Is there any way?
  • (2023-10-26) S L: Incredible extension! Thank you so much
  • (2023-10-25) Lâm Nguyễn: Please help me "database disk image is malformed" so I uninstalled and reinstall work fine for a couple of weeks then the same error again
  • (2023-10-23) Mike Butt: Imported 3 urls and 3 visits Errors: 1,081,429 lines could not be imported
  • (2023-10-21) Komet: I have been using this extension for over 10 years, because I occasionally needed to re-visit websites from months or even years ago, and the standard search would only keep entries for a few weeks. With History Search Unlimited, I could search for both URL and title and even now it is still actively maintained, so thank you!
  • (2023-10-20) Chuck Colsch: I have, over several years, Tested EVERY Major History Manager for Chromium Browsers, And, by a Wide Margin, “History Trends Unlimited” is the Very BEST!! A few of the others had This Or That Special Feature, But H.T.U. is the Rolls Royce among them all. Along the way, I ran into a minor niggling question & contacted this Extension’s Author, Mr. Lauen, who graciously answered my concern with impressive speed.
  • (2023-10-17) Gustavo A: To make it work after the migration I had to remove the extension from Chrome, close chrome, re open chrome after a couple minutes (just in case), re install the extension and import the backup file. After that is working perfect with my 5 years of history.
  • (2023-10-14) Tami Toivanen: Very useful add-on which would be 5-star worthy with ease as Google itself has opted to not provide browsing history locally for longer than ~90 days, but as of late (September 2023 -> onwards) it has become unreliable at keeping the history accessible due to recent changes on Chrome which causes losing all history due to database corruption(s). Here's hoping that the issue can be fixed, as the extension has been very reliable and powerful tool during my 4 years of use before these recent issues.
  • (2023-10-10) 小号: it's very useful extension,if can translate to Chinese language will be nice, please consider my request。
  • (2023-10-09) vicentory: History Trends Unlimited uses a storage system (Web SQL) that will soon be removed by Chrome (details can be found here). Your data must be migrated to a new storage system (SQLite WASM). The migration is simple: just follow the steps below. You must migrate to continue using this extension. If you don't migrate, your data will eventually be deleted by Chrome! please fix it,it's very useful extension.
  • (2023-10-06) Robert Brown: A little over two years ago, I discovered that one's web browsing history on Chrome has a three-month limit. Since then, I've been using this extension to keep a permanent, searchable record of my browsing history. I've transferred this data between computers and restored from backups when I've had problems. For my purposes, this extension is functional and reliable. I wish I could include my mobile browsing history somehow, but that lack is no fault of this extension. Many thanks to the developer for creating and maintaining this tool – and offering it for free! I highly recommend it.
  • (2023-10-05) Nicholas Escalona: after using for a long time, began receiving "database is locked" or "database disk image is malformed" errors. have weekly full backups, so following faq, reinstalled extension. on both of two most recent backups, receive "Imported 0 urls and 0 visits", "Errors: 39,109 lines could not be imported". wasted my time.
  • (2023-10-05) Patrick Labay: Love it, although I do wish you can change the file name format for the auto backup because I use multiple profiles and the auto backups could get mixed up since they have the same file name format
  • (2023-10-03) Eli Luong: Great extension to capture history and present it in useful data visualizations. Awesome developer!
  • (2023-10-01) River Burnell wojtech: good (:
  • (2023-09-29) Kasper: After reinstalling the extension and importing my backup tsv 9 days ago, I'm getting this error again: "SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_PRIMARYKEY: sqlite3 result code 1555: constraint failed" error message
  • (2023-09-23) achraf mirrane: Great extension, and for anyone that has the sqlite3 result code 11 error after the last update, try removing and re installing the extension.
  • (2023-09-23) Ayan Agrawal: Was a nice extension but it doesn't work anymore, gives the error SQLITE_CORRUPT: sqlite3 result code 11: database disk image is malformed
  • (2023-09-17) Александр Марков: not working after database migrating SQLITE_CORRUPT: sqlite3 result code 11: database disk image is malformed or SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_PRIMARYKEY: sqlite3 result code 1555: constraint failed
  • (2023-09-17) Andrea Panada: An important message for both the creator and the users: since the recent change in data storage, *it appears* that using programs such as CCleaner to clear Chrome web cache deletes the saved history. I am not 100% sure if it was really what happened, but anyway, be careful. Not sure if there is a way to prevent this. In the meantime, backup before clearing the cache.
  • (2023-09-16) Yeran DBU: Hey, I've been using this extension since 2021 and it's great. However shortly after the latest update hit I started to get this Error message: "Error message: SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_PRIMARYKEY: sqlite3 result code 1555: constraint failed" Any help would be appreciated.
  • (2023-09-15) kuba4ful: unsure where to send a ticket, there is no github repo or something so i'll write here after the focred migration the extension broke. can't search for anything, it says "sqlite error 5 'database is locked' " i love this extension, so i'll gladly change the review to 5* once this breaking bug is fixed
  • (2023-09-14) Björn Zosel: awesome tool!
  • (2023-09-12) •Sm0k3•: Great extension
  • (2023-09-12) Reinis Zumbergs: Have been using it for many months now. It does the job great. Chrome is going to change some underlying technology, so the authors of this extension provided migration ahead of time. Hats off to them for caring for the users.
  • (2023-09-11) AA_27: Should i migrate to SQLite WASM if i'm on Windows 7 since Chrome is not updating anymore?
  • (2023-09-10) Markus Krainz: Exceptionally useful and well maintained extension.
  • (2023-08-27) TV DFM ZPRÁVY: After chrome crashed I had to re install this, because the history was deleted from the extension, but not from chrome itself.
  • (2023-07-21) GamingPro: Nothing to show you how to even use this!
  • (2023-07-14) Harsh Singh: Great Extension!! Working as intended. But It should have an option to exclude certain websites from saving in history. That's a must. If it gets added, I'll rate the extension to 5 stars.
  • (2023-05-18) Sandeep Singh: Been using this for about 3 years now, this thing is just incredible. I love being able to search my history, for an unlimited time back instead of just 3 months, which is so stupid! So much usefull links I've been able to find again, which I never would have otherwise. The trends tab is cool, fun to see what kind of sites you visit. The backups are super usefull, so I'll never lose my history. Should be standard in any browser! I installed it in my other chromium based browsers too. Thank you for creating this!
  • (2023-04-24) Zack Light: It should have the option to save to GitHub in the background Having to deal select the corresponding folder for the history file is too much work, each time I restart Chrome. Check out the extension LeetHub which syncs in the background.
  • (2023-04-17) Florian “furomin” Gaul: Very neat tool, sadly it's not on github or even open source... 😥🥸
  • (2023-04-14) Richard L: Just great. Easily one of my top three extensions. I find history invaluable in many ways, including problem-solving, and this extension expands Chrome's paltry 90 day limit to UNLIMITED! And it further provides options such as auto history backups in case anything ever goes awry (which has never happened to me in years of using HTU), and a function for transferring the info to a new device. I have to remember that when I *do* prefer to delete certain history items less than 90 days old, it's necessary to separately delete them from Chrome's history as well, since HTU wisely keeps its own history files completely separate from Chrome. Thanks so much for this extension!
  • (2023-04-11) Jonathan Vargas: It's great but it would be useful to implement a "time per site" option, not only visit.
  • (2023-04-08) Liam: 7/4/2023: the extension' data suddenly become empty and i can't export and import history, what the hell OLD: All of my 2 years or more of data was lost after I re-enable the extension! Are there any ways to recover it if I didn't export history? And why did that happen Reply 1: That is the only time the data was lost after I re-enable the extension, the other times are fine. I'm using Chrome version 96.0.4664.93. This loss hit me so hard OMG. Definitely will use Auto Backup from now on... Is it possible to make the extension be albe to read and import history from Google My Activity?
  • (2023-03-22) Petrus Rademeyer: Great addon and works 100%. Especially for those days where you just cannot remember what you did the last couple of days and got in trouble to due work load :) Cheers
  • (2023-02-28) 马春杰: Thanks, plugin is very good, can you add gist synchronization?
  • (2023-02-21) 刘志东(小小东叔叔): 不错,可以很好的整理历史记录
  • (2023-02-18) Shion Sinx: One time I needed to check some website I visited many months prior, and found out Chrome limit of 90 days of browsing history. I looked and asked around and was pointed to this extension, it seemed very promising! Installed and forgot about it. Until today when I needed it, so I went back to check a website I visited about 4 months prior... and found nothing. There was no records older than 90 days, again. Only then I learned that the sole funcion of the extension is most likely tied to this option of auto-backup which is NOT turned on by default! And no warning about it as well (because if there was I would have turned it on). Why would someone do that?!
  • (2023-01-30) a b (ab): way better than chrome history
  • (2022-12-17) jean ų: can you add a way to change the destination folder when saving?
