BRAVO Abdul!!! This is the best (really) of all the undo closed tabs extensions for many reasons. There was at least one or more problems with each undo closed tabs evaluations. One had aa huge banner on the bottom "PLEASE REVIEW ME This Peek History is a gem. Unsure how many tabs are saved, but it's much more than all the others. It is like a history, but Very organized! Tabs About Peek History first look, it had a dark background. NEXT, this thing runs like butter. Scrolling is truly amazing. I can tell the developer but a lot of time on this, and it shows. Instead of displaying the time, it shows how long-ago certain tabs were closed. IE. 10 minutes ago, 1 hour. Instead of 2am etc. It's easier for me to tell how far back I closed a tab. It's all of these little things that makes this Peak History extension a gem. Plus, I can't recall any developer making comments on reviews. Excellence in every way Thank You

The most comprehensive history extension. Clean, elegant interface and infinite scrolling. I wish for two things: a button to open browser history and - the most difficult - a selection of showing the threaded history list, i.e. history arranged per "containing" url as "main folder" and the individual pages within that url, as "files"

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.

Peek History requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
