| 2024-12-05 |  | | en | My use case: I usually want to find some item in history in order to see what other sites I visited during that session. This extension is good enough, but I would like to have the ability to quickly jump from an entry I found with search to the view where you see that entry in the entire timeline. Like, "jump to that day". Also, search is not very good: 1. I can't find the Wikipedia article "Ontology (information science)" by running the query "information ontology". Does it only search by exact match? Well, developers today know better. Not "better" history - Chrome's native search uses tokenization and finds that. 2. Better History only finds one entry for a URL, the latest one. But Chrome deliberately keeps many entries for a URL if they were visited in different days! E.g. you may visit a URL yesterday and today, and Chrome will save both of the visits, and they are both searchable. Better History only shows one - this is not good, and not "better" history. Two UI points: 1. When I press Ctrl+H, I want the search bar to be focused so that I could search immediately what I want without using my mouse. This is done in Chrome's native history. Again, not "better" history. 2. There is also no calendar by month to move metween dates quickly. There are a lot of calendar components in the web - don't reinvent the wheel, just use one of them. Good luck to the author, though, I saw some bugs fixed since I started using this. I'll improve the rating if I see the mentioned issues resolved. |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | en | Apart from working as intended, its a really nice UI. Only thing missing is options that allow deleting the day (completely) or even all (without going to the original history page to do so) - while that could be achieved using search, its kinda cumbersome and cannibalizes the value of the extenion. |

| 2024-11-27 |  | | en | Nice extension, just got one feature request: in the Activity section, is it possible to add a filter for Devices so that I can check history specific to my devices like mobile, laptop etc.? |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | en | Every time I need to use Better History I have to move to and click into the search bar. Why? Why can't it just auto-default to the search bar? |
