History Trends Unlimited

Search and analyze your unlimited history.
What is History Trends Unlimited?
'History Trends Unlimited' is a Chrome extension designed to save your browsing history beyond Chrome's typical 3-month limit by syncing it to a local database. The extension provides tools to interactively analyze this history, including pie charts, bar graphs, and keyword search options. It also offers an export function for data analysis beyond the extension. Importantly, the extension saves history separately from Chrome's history, so local clearing will not affect the data stored by this extension.

Extension summary

History Trends Unlimited regularly syncs your history to a local database to work around the (approximate) 3-month time limit imposed by Chrome. Your history is saved locally; it's never shared or sent over the network.

Features:

  • Interactive charts and stats. Click any of the bar/line/pie charts to filter by a value.
  • Search your history by keyword. Or browse it chronologically.
  • Access the raw data to perform your own analysis. Click the "Export These Results" link on the Trends or Search page.
  • Transfer your history to a new computer. See instructions on the Options page.

NOTES:

  • This extension now requires a minimum of Chrome v109.
  • Uninstalling this extension will delete all of the history it has saved. To create a backup of your history, use the "Export History" button on the Options page.
  • This extension stores your history separate from Chrome's history, which means 1) clearing Chrome's history will not delete your history in this extension, and 2) this extension will not preserve the color of links you have already visited.

This is probably the best, most simple, most invisible when you don't need it, clearly present when you do, Chrome extension that I use. I've been using it for years and have years worth of data. I'm surprised at how often (at least 3 times a month) that I use what seems like ancient history from this data to find stuff.

The "search" function does not work very well. You cannot search by part of one word or by Chinese phrases.

Each time you restart Chrome/Brave it downloads a tsv file by default which is super annoying and not user friendly
