These options ensure you maintain control over your digital footprint with minimal effort.

(6) Domain Blacklist for Better Privacy
Block specific domains from being recorded in your history with the new Blacklist feature.
• Add or remove domains directly from the extension settings or instantly from the context menu while browsing.
• Protect your privacy by ensuring certain websites are never logged in your browser history again, making this feature perfect for sensitive browsing.

- Marvin Street
- Every time I get a pop-up I can't dismiss, demanding a rating, I give 1-star. And will continue to do so every time it pops up and i cant otherwise dismiss. 😤
- David Smith
- it's so much better than regular history, so 5 stars on that front. only reason i did 4 and not 5 is cuz i don't like the "infinite scroll" aspect of the days that you're on. like sometimes i'll be scrolling super fast through a busy day looking for something specific and then i'll blow through the previous 3 days before i even realize i left that original day. now that i know that this happens, i know to avoid doing that / use the "navigate by hour" bubbles to jump around. but i kinda wish that each day was its own "page" and you could hard-scroll to the bottom of it.

- It is a Better History. A useful tool but nothing world breaking. It is world breaking that making something like this needs to be done externally and is not a native part of the code for Chrome.
