Stop Chrome from recording your browsing history.

What is No 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.

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.

It works, but only if you sign out and stop syncing

Das Aufzeichnen des Verlaufs kann angehalten und wieder fortgesetzt werden, optional kann auch der Verlauf direkt über das Erweiterung-Icon gelöscht werden. Für alle, die diese Option (wie sie in anderen Browsern bereits üblich ist) noch in Chrome vermissen ist diese Erweiterung genau das Richtige.
