This extension is nearly flawless. The only issue is that when hovering over the history options in the menu, it still displays the history. If this can be addressed, I would gladly give this extension a 5-star review. Aside from this, the extension is excellent!

Seems to randomly turn off without my input. Defeats the purpose. Good when it works

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

1click Pause History requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows retrieval of a user’s browsing history, presenting a notable privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
