Neeley Corcoran 2025-09-28: Great open source extension
Julian Hall 2024-06-30: Very useful when I needed to find times I was working on a project. Breaking the day up into sessions was extremely helpful and made the task quick & easy. Interface could be a little better developed, but works well.
Gaurasundar Das 2024-03-14: It does what it says it does. it makes it easy what should be easy
Shrikant Kharade 2023-02-08: Great extension for something that should be a default feature.

Diego Belotti 2022-11-21: Ma fare un bottone o una voce di menù per aprirla, al posto di ricordarsi i tasti di scelta rapida no? Default CTRL+SHIFT+Y se non sbaglio, comunque lo si vede da qui: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Aleksey Midenkov 2022-07-10: Unusable, broken. Either you do history plugin which does everything needed or you don't spend your and my time. Isn't that clear? Not all results displayed, filtering is broken. Please remove your odd job from the sight!

Colin Cohen 2022-05-14: I'd have given 5 stars, but I think the UI takes up too much screen space. I'm guessing it only shows history on the current computer, not fo the account? I keep closing all tabs in error on my iPad and then have no memory of what I lost …

Wentao Shi 2021-08-30: Whoever has rated high here, only needs to serch for less than a month's history? Otherwise it just shows you a couple pieces of information, so randomly that I can't really understand its logic.

tenerife sea 2021-05-21: 1) it doesn't display ALL the websites that I've visited on certain dates. I tried to look for a thesis that I accessed on may 4th (which I forgot the name), but this extension couldn't find it. I know it's definitely on may 4th now, bc I found it using another extension. so maybe work on the inclusion of all urls I visited. 2) I really like the history is categorized by time and you can expand and hide each sections, this works better than the other extension 3) the date on the top only display 13 days, I think it will be better to show all 14 days (2 whole weeks) 4) the date on the top are confusing bc the date you click will move to center of the screen. it's not complex, per say, but needs to get used to. which may be an obstacle for new users. 5) for example, when I want to search and compare history between 2 dates: may 4th and may 10th. my cursor have to travel further away. bc when I click on may 4th, the may 10th is on the corner right. but when I click on may 10th, the may 4th now moves to the very corner left. 6) and if I want to compare history between 2 different dates: may 4th and may 16th, it's even more difficult and confusing. you have to click "further right/left", and search for the dates somewhere on the dates list. so to sum up, when you click on the dates, as long as the date is visible, the date shouldn't move to the middle. they should stay in place until the user click "further left/right". that way, you can click between 2 dates and not be confused at all. 7) a promising extension for now, but can certainly be improved. good luck!

Greg Stuck 2021-01-24: I just installed this extension a few minutes ago and it has already saved me hours of mindless scrolling. I had an image and the date it was downloaded and with this extension found the web page in less than 2 minutes! So far, a great time saver. Thank you!

Lucia Johnson 2021-01-14: I can't figure out how to use it. Chrome History looks just the same as before. Any ideas?

Brandon Diaz 2020-10-03: Amazing extension. It's beyond me why this is not the native behaviour on Chrome's history...

Jack Curl 2020-10-01: Once you click the extension icon, it opens a new tab with your Chrome history grouped by date (and time grouping, with roll-up report by site beneath that). It gives you all the high-level information at (slightly more than) a glance, but concise. Then you can expand the specific entry for low-level detail. Very simple, clean interface that supports the user and doesn't get in the way.

Jingyi Tay 2020-08-03: great! So far I like the ease to go back to certain date but better that I can see groups of chrome usage sessions which is mindblowing! want to know more about how to use this app thou!

Danniel Soares 2020-07-23: Pretty good. Infinite scroll is simply idiocy, wherever it's applied.

Albert Hao 2019-12-31: Great UI, very intuitive, mostly high quality. Does what I need. Two recommendations: one, have the domain name and the tab name together like how google history does it, and two, make the mouse focus on each day disappear after the cursor comes out of the calendar

Simon Lft 2019-11-05: L'historique dans Chrome n'est pas pratique quand on recherche quelque chose de lointain, surtout quand on sait le jour mais pas le nom. L'extension rassemble l'historique par jour mais aussi par bloc d'heure d'activité. Ainsi on retrouve facilement ses horaires de bureaux ou, une fois à la maison, des heures passées sur internet.
Diana Snyder 2019-09-13: Like it, except it keeps crashing and then defaults back to today. So I have to keep track of which date I was looking at and which time groups I had already seen. Crashes when I click to expand a group. Thought at first it was because there were a dozen or more entries for that group, but no, crashed on only 3 in the group. If it's Friday and you want something from Tuesday, the way Chrome shows it is absolutely crazy, you have to scroll and scroll and if you do a lot, like I do, it will take forever. This is so much better. .Except for the crashing and having to keep track on Notepad where I am, which date and which time group. But I'll live with that because it is a very useful extension and I like it.

David Veszelovszki 2018-07-04: I've been using this extension for about a year, and I really love it. I hated the stock UI, this extension made checking my history much easier. And it's a relief that it's open source.

Jasper de Vries 2018-06-27: Tried a few others and this one just does the job. Simple and to the point. UI is maybe a matter of taste, but I kind of like the way pages are grouped. I can see that you might want a collapse all button or preference here.
