NoHistory

When you want to hide something, but don't want to open a private window.

NoHistory is a Firefox extension designed to help users keep specific web pages out of their browsing history without the need to open a private window. This tool deletes every entry of excluded URLs from the history due to web-extension API limitations, making it perfect for accessing sites discreetly, such as those requiring login or those you'd prefer to keep private from others like parents.

Beyond history exclusion, NoHistory includes useful history management features like history cleanup. Being free and open-source, it allows users to contribute or review its code. While updates may be infrequent due to the developer's commitments, the extension provides a helpful solution for users seeking privacy without switching browsing modes.

It seems to be doing what it's supposed to.

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.

NoHistory requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

NoHistory has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
