- (2025-07-11) Shanna: This history app has been a HUGE help in many ways. Thank you!
- (2025-07-11) Mike Chen: This plugin is a game-changer for anyone drowning in browser history chaos! The interface is sleek and intuitive—finding old sites I visited weeks ago takes seconds, not hours. Exporting history to CSV is a breeze, which has been a lifesaver for my research projects. And the one-click delete feature? Pure genius for keeping my browsing private. Worth every bit of the space it takes up—5 stars without a doubt!
- (2025-07-09) Mehmet Demir: I would like to have the ability to delete all data in a date range; for example from 01/02/2025 to 08/02/2025

- (2025-06-19) Vleztar: its really good, Thank you
- (2025-06-19) Ronnie TW: The search option is not working properly. I write words wanting to get only the results with those two words, but the extensions returns no results. I put the same two words on chrome's default history search bar and I get the results. Please fix asap
- (2025-06-18) Travis D (Indi-V): Very solid. Lots of details and ease of filtering.
- (2025-06-18) Toby: Honestly, I've had no issues with it thus far. It's a convenient way to keep websites organized, and I just prefer this UI over the default of google. Sure, there is more going on, but its not overwhelming, and that's what i appreciate about it.
- (2025-06-17) Neil Shrestha-Birtch: Been using this for the last 3ish years to find sites and topics that I forget.
- (2025-06-15) Lydia Duprat: I've used this extension for a couple of years now, and have zero complaints.
- (2025-06-14) Skee MAs: thx, works great
- (2025-06-14) M.G. Mourad: I have never written a review for any extension on Chrome before. But, this one extension is worth it and super well design.

- (2025-06-07) Pramod Beema: Thank you devs 🙏
- (2025-06-07) hoang viet: Hi, I want to suggest a feature. When you select a browsing record, please enable deleting by pressing "DEL" key.
- (2025-06-06) Tracy Easter: I log my time, so being able to go back and clearly see what I was doing and when using this extension is key.
- (2025-06-05) Damian Nowak: Fantastic improvement over the stock history page!
- (2025-06-05) A: great and nice extension with all the necessary features
- (2025-06-05) Crunchy Chicken: Great and very useful. Technically goes directly against intentional design of Brave, but I do in fact need my history.
- (2025-06-02) Isreal Mathew: I wish I could specify more than just domains... eg. https://www.google.com/search Also, wish I could set a slight delay before deletion... ie, remove after 15min... that way navigation is not affected (back, forward). eg. if the extension is running on the PC and actively syncing history, even on Android, pressing back will have unexpected results because history is being actively removed (which is why a delay might be nice)... or allowing explicit URLs rather than just domains... eg. keep google.com/maps or accounts.google.com but not search results. Otherwise it is great.
- (2025-06-02) Brian Brinkley: I use this app weekly to help fill out my timecard. What was I working on on Monday?? Let me look in Better History and see. Good app. Thanks.
- (2025-06-02) Cheslav Zhuravsky: Not load all history items, that Chrome has
- (2025-05-30) Ramdhan: add a option to import history too because what is the point of exporting history and not importing it like ??? 🤔
- (2025-05-30) Ricardo Jadoo: Excellent good stuff
- (2025-05-30) Tony Alba: Got it because Brave browser doesn't allow bulk opening tabs from history. This extension also doesn't.
- (2025-05-29) Touka Lucsiro: Easy to use, nice experience. Would be better if can "Select All" when deleting unwanted history.
- (2025-05-28) Leonid Dyakonov: Very easy to use and search both : in long term full history and short term daily based history. Very handy.
- (2025-05-27) Vmico Github: perfect
- (2025-05-26) Tyler Cottenie: Exactly what Chrome should have had built in. Does exactly what it says it does, and quickly. Great extension.

The interface is clean and super easy to read, which makes it quick to scan through my browser activity and cross-reference it with my timesheets. It’s such a simple tool, but incredibly effective. Highly recommend if you do any kind of time tracking or project logging!
