Limits the number of items the browser will keep in history by days.

Image from store History Limiter Custom
Description from store A personal edit of nschneirov's History Limiter put up to share. Overall the logic remain unchanged from the original version. Main changes: - code reworks to eliminate need for jQuery and to facilitate manifest ver 2 - event page enabled - no changes to logic, no new functions The main aim of this edit is to make it event page enabled so it unloads when not needed thus saving memory. ================= CHANGELOG: 1.2 [21/04/2018] - back to using a set button to overcome the premature clear - some minor UI changes 1.1.1 [10/05/2014] - history will be trimmed right after the day value is edited 1.1 [27/04/2014] - tidying and restructuring of code - changed options page to auto save - added textfield number check - added working 0 days mode (no history)

  • (2023-06-20) Matthew Edmundson: I used ChromeHistoryView by NirSoft to verify that this does remove the history before the set number of days. At least, it works at some point after pressing the set button. But it'd be better if it gave a clearer indication of when it's accomplished the task. Maybe give a readout of how many entries it has cleared or some other way of letting you know it actually did something.
  • (2022-01-12) A.: HEADS-UP! THIS STUPID TOOL WILL PERMANENTLY ERASE YOUR BROWSING HISTORY RIGHT AFTER EDITING THE "DAY" VALUE, AND WITHOUT GIVING ANY WARNINGS AT ALL!
  • (2021-08-22) Rick Z: It doesn't work.
  • (2021-02-10) Ismael: Did not function it for me. Saved only the last 3 months, despite having set it to 36 months!
  • (2019-05-23) Gerhard Schreiner: Really love the extension - I don't know whether it spies on me, but it does its job without any problems. Thank you for this :-)
  • (2019-05-05) Sean Taylor: Doesn't actually remove History. Set to 1 day, there are multiple days in history still.
  • (2018-10-24) Transsexual computer faery: The extension's promise to "Limit the number of items the browser will keep in history by days." is not true. It doesn't automatically limit the history saved to the last X days, you have to manually press a button which will delete all history except the last X days. The description is misleading, but the functionality is good for what it is.

  • (2015-04-03) Gustavo Troche: Simple and easy!
  • (2015-03-05) Barb Meinema: Until Chrome offers an option to "Eliminate all History except the most recent ___ days" this extension does the trick for me. Thanks!

  • (2014-07-11) AnastasiiA Zhukova: GOOD! THANKS!
  • (2014-03-22) Andrey Ryabchukov: Not working.
  • (2014-03-21) Roger Bowen Weld: Installs Gen-Barys trojan. Don't use this extension.
  • (2013-09-02) 很不错的扩展，能够清除太过古老的历史记录，对像本人这种基本用不上历史记录的人来说很有用。但似乎将参数设为0的话没理想中的效果呀（不能阻止生成历史记录），设成1，感觉不错。
