Thithuyhong tran (ID: 000000c0374f6d4d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/16/2022 It does work this extension is a lifesaver for your school laptops I give a 5/5.

Dennis Schamne (ID: 000000d874776963) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/19/2021 I'm using this handy extension to automatically delete old history because otherwise the browser becomes sluggish when it has to keep all the history of several years from the past. But I don't need to delete all the history because I want to know what links I have clicked in the past weeks/months, so I prefer to keep that. What I would like to see in the next version of this extension: Ability to customize the number of days instead of being limited to 1 hour to 30 days. In my case I would like to keep the history of the past 3 months.

Thomas Schittli (ID: 00000032bb30ae6b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/15/2021 Thanks a lot for sharing your great work!, It is a pity that the extension does not simply allow you to enter the number of days in a text box. For example, at home I want to delete everything older than 3 months and at work, everything older than 7 months.

S (ID: 000000aae4f28d14) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/02/2019 Been using this for a while on Opera, but since the past week or so it stopped doing anything altogether. I have it to set to purge history and downloads that are more than 30 days old automatically, but even with it set to prompt me before doing anything it still doesn't work sadly. This is the only extension I've been able to find that automatically purges old history, so it'd be a shame if it's broken.

Cypher N7 (ID: 000000debf249e07) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/04/2018 Works great. Deletes old history,keeps latest. Exactly what i was looking for.
