User reviews

Users appreciate History Manager for its enhanced history management capabilities, smooth performance, and features like statistics and efficient record organization. However, common complaints include the unwanted creation of an 'extension bookmarks' folder, missing or inconvenient scroll bar functionality, non-working features such as calendar filters, and critical bugs including accidental history deletion. While it enriches browsing insights and offers better control than Chrome's default history, some shortcomings and interface annoyances are frequently noted.

Pros

Provides more advanced history management features compared to Chrome's built-in history, such as filtering by time and statistics on browsing interests.
Fast, smooth, and user-friendly interface with intuitive search functionality.
Useful features like highlighting important records and clustering to organize history effectively.
Adds meaningful browsing insights through statistics and interest analysis.
Effective alternative for users wanting improved control over their browsing history.

Cons

Extension bookmarks folder is automatically created on the bookmarks bar every time the extension is opened and cannot be disabled.
Lack of a visible or functional scroll bar in the interface making navigation inconvenient.
Some features advertised or shown in images (like calendar or image preview/demo) do not function as expected or are unavailable.
Occasional bugs including serious issues like deleting entire history when filtering sites.
No override of Chrome's default history tab, which may confuse users expecting full replacement.

Extension safety

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