Features & Capabilities

Histcontext lets you see the surrounding history for a webpage you've visited in the past! You can also see all past recorded visits to a webpage. This WebExtension has only been tested on Firefox. Ideally it would show the context you in the browser's history window – unfortunately I don't think that's possible with WebExtensions, so the UI is based on a toolbar popup that lets you browse your history.

This is mostly something I thought would be personally useful, hence functionality is a bit crude (at least at this stage).

Is histcontext 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.

histcontext requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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

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.

histcontext is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
