Export Chrome History is a handy extension that lets you export your browser browsing history into Excel-readable CSV files or JSON format with just a few clicks. Simply click the puzzle piece icon in the top right corner of Chrome, select 'Export Chrome History', and save your data.

Please note the extension is subject to Chrome's own 3-month browsing history limitation; if you require history older than 3 months, consider using Google Takeout. Version 1.0.1.0 includes improvements such as indicating the 90-day limit on the "Forever" option and formatting time values for better readability in CSV files.

User reviews

Users appreciate the Export Chrome History extension for its simplicity, ability to export browsing history into CSV/JSON efficiently, and its usefulness in overcoming official Google limitations. It reliably exports recent 90-day local history and helps with documentation and recovery. The main limitations are its 90-day export window, inability to fetch cloud-synced or mobile history, and occasional partial or inaccurate data export. Users suggest enhancements like configurable date formats and filters to improve usability.

Pros

Simple and effective to use with a clean interface.
Exports browsing history into CSV or JSON formats, which is very handy for documentation and analysis.
Provides a workaround to Google's official history export limitations, especially for offline or local history.
Reliable for exporting up to 90 days of browsing history.
Saves users time and reduces frustration by easily exporting data for review or backup.

Cons

Only exports browsing history for the most recent 90 days; does not support older history even if visible in Chrome.
Exports only local device history and cannot sync or export Google's cloud history including mobile history.
May export some partial or incomplete history compared to what is visible in chrome://history; not all entries are captured.
Lacks advanced features such as customizable date formats or filtering options.
Some users report occasional inaccuracies in titles and URLs exported.

For a 90 day period exports only 100+ results. Ridiculous. Why Google lets you see the search history and there's a Delete button but no simple copy button?
