Extension summary

🔔 Heads Up: I worked on this project in my initial days just to learn extension development. It's time to call it a day. The functionality it offered is now a default feature in the Chrome browser, making this project obsolete. Unfortunately, I won't be making any more updates.

This extension helps you to quickly peek at history in the popup that helps you view, search, and delete your history without distracting you from your work. It also lets you restore your sessions across devices (Reopen recently closed tabs/windows or tabs/windows on other devices).

  • Delete specific or all history
  • Reopen closed tabs (Full session)
  • Restore sessions from other devices
  • Fully controllable by keyboard
  • Infinite scroll

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"
