Cornel B (ID: 00000070e3387c76) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 It's a great extension. Could you please make these improvements: 1. preserve the search filter in the history popup (that is, if I type something in the popup-search-input edit field when I bring up the popup to filter the results, well, I'd like on the next time the popup comes up to have the same typed filter & filtered results show up) This is quite useful if you want to restrict your results let's say to only at what you browsed on a specific domain. 2. increase the limit of the displayed items from 30 to something much higher (500 or such) 3. apparently there's a bug in chrome - history items are displayed for the last 24 hours if you dont pass a startTime in the chrome.history.search call. so just add a "startTime: 0" paremeter there. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=73812 10/12/2023 It's a pity the developer doesnt pay attention to suggested improvements. Anyway, let's make some more suggestions, who knows... 4. Add an option to restrict only to certain domain(s) just like you added for filtering out certain domains. 5. Allow regex searches You may wonder why such suggestions. I learn new languages and it's useful for me to go over words that I looked at, to remind myself, to learn them better.

Jay Guyton-Wright (ID: 000000df0009ff5d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 Just because you spent 2 years developing an app, it doe s not give you permission to use another app as an advertising forum once every 3 months. I came back to my locked PC to find their other app opened a tab, advertising I service I do not need, or would want to use. There is a reason I have ad blockers. Do not use extensions that go beyond the access needed for their function to advertise their other products or hijack your browser to get you to use their other products. Bad practice all around. I was fine with this extension until this event.
