Does what it says it does. Limited. Feature request: The possibility to "Clean history for this domain". So that all history for the domain (subdomains) I am on are flushed only, not all or nothing.

Doesn't really do what it claims: "A single-click browser history cleaner. You can wipe your browser history for a configurable period." I was hoping to have my history cleaned *since* a specific time period, and not *for* a time period, say everything older than one month. I shall change my review if this functionallity is added. Nonetheless, it's a good extension and I appreciate your work.
