Egghead History Extension

Egghead is a browser history replacement that aims to let you actually make use of your browser history.

The default history that's available on Chrome lacks some features to help you answer questions about things you've found or done in your browser in the past. For example--when you search something on google, what links did you open? Today, there isn't a great way to answer this question; you'd have to perform the search again and check what links have already been clicked. Well, not any more! Egghead keeps track of relationships between pages you visit on the internet and offers you a powerful search engine to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

All of the data this extension collects and uses exists only in your browser, and we do not collect or transmit your data to ourselves or third parties for any purpose.
