## Description

History Auto Delete is a handy Chrome extension that automatically deletes the browsing history of specified sites during the time the extension is enabled. Unlike bulk history deletion tools, it smartly targets only the browsing records of pages visited while active, helping you avoid creating extensive history logs for sites like Google Translate and Google Maps, which frequently generate new entries with every interaction. This keeps your browsing history tidy and prevents high CPU usage that similar add-ons might cause.

The extension does not clear previous history before activation, focusing only on ongoing sessions for registered domains. Moreover, it avoids the heavy resource usage issues found in comparable add-ons, providing a lightweight solution for maintaining privacy and performance. Users are encouraged to support the developer through donations and contribute to translations via Crowdin, ensuring broader accessibility.
