Visual History delinearizes your browsing history with a richer alternative to the Back and Forward buttons. Instead of a stack of past websites, Visual History maintains the forest of trees that represent each tab’s path around the internet, and lets you easily backtrack to any site you recently visited. Routes that normally have to be manually re-traced, like jumping between search results or forum posts, can be intuitively and quickly directed without revisiting the parent page.

Navigate the tree using the Ctrl+Arrow or Cmd+Arrow key shortcuts, or by clicking the tree icon in the toolbar.

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.

Visual History requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Visual History may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
