Summary

Analyze keywords

Flexible full text browsing history search in Chrome! Press f, then space or tab, in the omnibar to start searching your previously visited websites! Every time you visit a website in Chrome, Falcon indexes all the text on the page so that the site can be easily found later.

If you know how, I strongly recommend installing "from source" manually rather than through the Chrome Webstore

If you search "let in", it will return some sites containing a "let" and separately an "in" rather than sites with the full phrase "let in".

Всё хорошо, но выдаёт только несколько штук результатов прямо в строке поиска, а по нажатию энтера никакого списка результатов не рисуется, и даже сам запрос исчезает. А я так надеялся избавиться от моих 1698 вкладок.

Safety

Risk impact

Falcon is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Falcon if you trust the publisher.
