Features & Capabilities

History Helper is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your browser's history search capabilities beyond the default interface. Unlike the standard viewer, it allows you to filter your search by page title or URL, specify visit counts, and set precise date ranges. You can add multiple search terms and exclude specific words to hone in on exactly what you're looking for.

This extension supports searching whole phrases rather than splitting terms and offers regular expression support for advanced queries. Whether you're trying to find a specific website or need detailed filtering options, History Helper provides a faster, more accurate way to navigate your browsing history efficiently.

Thank you J.C. Fields for the extension allowing us to search our FF history. I was deeply troubled by FF broken way of searching within history and have to frequently export and import to Chrome's History Trend Unlimited to review my past web activities. J.C. changed that and thank you! Potential bug report: search does not render history matching the end date in the date range. EX: using 1/1/2025~1/1/2025 for specific date range will return nothing for the search and 1/1/2025~1/2/2025 will only return 1/1/2025's history.

Is History Helper 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.

History Helper 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.

History Helper has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
