User Reviews

This might be the only addon which is trying to visualize the browsing history. I searched the entire Chrome addon collection but could not find any. I was trying to find an alternative to good old safari's cover flow history view, but i was disappointed as that feature was removed. I have one request for the developer, the quality of the snapshots is extremely low. Can you please include the ability to increase the size of the thumbnails or decrease them? Also a cover flow view of all these thumbnails would put this addon on an entirely different level.

Hi guys, I tell you the story of one day that I'll mark with a black cross on my calendar. I run firefox 68 on a mobile device under android. Well I had 100+ tabs open and remarked that firefox was devastating my battery. Thus I searched an add-on to manage the session and save the tabs for later use. The add-on I have installed has wiped out ALL tabs beyond recovery. The sync function doesn't help here because of a random reliability. So I tried to recover some data through the browsing history. On a mobile device FF limits the accessible history pages you may access directly, why? I am clueless. One way to retrieve datais by entering 3 letters in the search bar such as "man" and access all the manuals you have been searching for in the last months. A tedious work. So, I decided to install an add-on that would better access and handle the history that FF does. Thus historyfy. As a first measure historyfy DELETED ALL my browsing history....Voila my tabs and my history gone forever. Last but not least, historyfy doesn't display anything! That is how two add-on ruined my day.

Is Historify 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.

Historify requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
