User reviews

Users appreciate Recent History as a feature-rich and easy-to-use extension that enhances Chrome's default history capabilities, especially with improved search filters and UI. However, many express serious concerns about intrusive ads and redirects, limited search timeframes, lack of a dark mode, and occasional bugs. Accidental deletions due to unclear button labeling and missing confirmations also frustrate users. While the extension is valued for its functionality, the intrusive advertising and usability issues significantly impact user satisfaction.

Pros

Offers more features and search filters than Chrome's default history, making it a useful replacement for SimpleUndoClose.
Easy to use and helps in recording and viewing Chrome browsing history, even if the original history is deleted.
Provides a nice user interface with options that improve history management over default Chrome functionality.
Useful for users wanting to track or review browsing activities in detail.
Generally considered a good and functional extension by multiple users.

Cons

Includes intrusive pop-up ads and redirects to advertising pages without user consent, causing many users to uninstall.
Limited search duration, often restricted to searching only one day to three months of history.
Lacks a dark mode theme, which users desire for better usability during night time.
Some users report bugs such as incorrect day of the week display and slow or incorrect search logic.
Buttons can be misleading without confirmation steps, leading to accidental deletion of history entries.

唐突な広告もそうだが、　異常な頻度でファイルの書き込みが行われている。
