## Description

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.
