No History: Stop Chrome From Recording Your Browsing History

"No History" is a Chrome extension designed to offer functionality that is missing in Google Chrome. The extension stops the browser from recording your browsing history while browsing in 'standard' mode, eliminating the need for 'incognito'. Beneficially, the extension has a 'toggle' feature that offers flexibility in enabling and disabling the functionality as needed.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension stops Chrome from recording your browsing history in 'standard' mode. You no longer need to be incognito.

This is a feature in Firefox that many people feel is missing in Chrome. Google will no doubt add this functionality at some stage. Until they do, you can use the No History extension!

One good feature is the ability to 'toggle' the extension on and off.

It's very simple and only took me a couple of hours to put together at a friends request.

For those saying this extension isn't working watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bfeyE4ZseU and then file a bug telling me how it's working differently for you. I can't fix any bug I can't replicate.

Dude , Update your extension before they kill you :((( , you have no alternatives <3

It has problem with Google Calendar. When the extension is on, while using Google Calendar after doing some actions it throws back to website before. It is just like pressing backwards button. It can be due to the fact that Calendar uses history to navigate through it. Can you please fix that? Or just add option which websites can be excluded from using this extension. Besides that issue, everything is great.
