User reviews
Users appreciate Simple History Manager for its improved grouping of site visits, date-based browsing, fast and versatile search, and enhanced time display over Chrome's default history. However, common issues include inability to access history across multiple devices, lack of multi-select for deleting entries, limited all-time history display initially, and some confusion with settings. Overall, it is regarded as a significant upgrade with practical features but with room for improvement in multi-device support and usability.
Pros
- Groups multiple site visits into a single entry for easier history management
- Allows browsing and searching history by date and custom date intervals
- Faster and more versatile than Chrome's default history manager
- Provides time information for all history entries
- Search interface is easy to use with scrollbar and visually clear
Cons
- Limited access to history beyond current device; cannot manage history across multiple devices
- Lacks batch selection for deleting multiple history entries at once
- Initial 'All-time' history view may be limited in days or entries shown
- Some users find settings and options unclear or hard to understand

Brave 1.77.100 on Win 11:
Comparable to default Brave history manager. Main improvement is grouping multiple site visits into one entry. I usually don't care about the dates/times I viewed something, just that I visited it recently and want to find it again.
"All-time" setting only goes back like 5 days for me (having just installed the extension a minute ago). Maybe it doesn't have access to history or there is an additional constraint on number of entries? Maybe it would be different if I kept using the extension.
Shortcuts: Clicking on pinned extension icon works pretty well. Simple History Manager is not open in any tab, Ctrl-H opens/tab-switches to Brave history. If Simple History Manager is open in a tab, Ctrl-H switches to SHM tab)
