What is History Limiter Custom?
History Limiter Custom is a Chrome extension aimed to control the volume of saved browsing items. By setting a limitation on the number of days, users can manage the volume of information stored in their browser history. An edited version of nschneirov's History Limiter, this extension has improvements such as removal of the need for jQuery, and event page enablement allowing it to unload when not needed, saving memory. Other changes include minor UI tweaks, and the ability of history to trim right after day value edits.

很不错的扩展,能够清除太过古老的历史记录,对像本人这种基本用不上历史记录的人来说很有用。但似乎将参数设为0的话没理想中的效果呀(不能阻止生成历史记录),设成1,感觉不错。
