Forgetful Firefox

Forgetful

By: Dreker Add-on
Keep chosen sites and tabs out of your browsing history — automatically, without opening a private window.

Features & Capabilities

Forgetful removes chosen pages from your browsing history as you browse — no private window needed.

HOW IT WORKS

Open the popup and mark the current site: every visit to it — including www. and any subdomain — is deleted from history automatically, from now on. Or mark the tab: everything you open in it stays out of history until the tab is closed. You can also match pages by title, with plain-text or regular-expression patterns.

FEATURES

• Per-site rules — add a site once and it never appears in your history again (subdomains included) • Per-tab mode — one click keeps a whole browsing session off the record • Title patterns — match pages by title (plain text or regex) • History cleanup tool — search existing history by URL, title and date range, then delete matches in bulk • Firefox Sync — rules and settings follow your Firefox account across devices and reinstalls, with room for thousands of sites • Status badge — a green check on the toolbar icon means the current page is being kept out of history • Import/export — full backup as JSON, or just the site list as plain text (one domain per line) • Dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Forgetful collects no data and makes no network requests. Everything stays on your device or in your own Firefox account.

Is Forgetful Safe?

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.

Forgetful requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
  • High ****** ********* ** * ****** ******** ******** ********** * ******* ******* *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Forgetful is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
