User reviews

History AutoDelete is valued for its ability to automatically delete browsing history by domain and age, which users find helpful for privacy and removing unwanted search suggestions. However, many users report problems like lack of mobile support, limited regex functionality, malfunctioning auto-delete despite correct settings, UI glitches, and insufficient safeguards against accidental data loss. These issues lead to frustration despite the add-on's intended benefits, highlighting a need for better maintenance and feature improvements.
