寒晓 (ID: 000000171373f68b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 Thank you, at least in my opinion, it's more user-friendly than 'History Trends Unlimited.' I often couldn't find my browsing history with 'History Trends Unlimited,' but your plugin can match it perfectly.

BIOS-Pherecydes (ID: 000000777f94cc91) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 The idea is good, and so far as I've seen the regular backup works fine. But it consistently fails to import. Every attempt fails, without exception. 100% of the time it gets roughly halfway through, then stops. Reloading doesn't help, because it's the same as starting from the beginning as though it's the first time and you'd never tried to begin with. It doesn't resume from where you left off, it starts over from step one. The big problem with this though, is that the although the import says it takes 2-10 minutes, in actual point of fact it takes multiple *hours* to get even to the halfway point, so this is a monumental timesink for no results. Nearly an hour for every ten percent, and never once has it gone over 61% before stalling out. A major disappointment.

双海詩音 (ID: 0000009db50af4f7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/16/2023 Hey Tom, great extension you've made for us, many thx! I personally appreciate the concise UI very much! Here I've got a question: We know that history-trends-unlimited's own data is stored in databases/chrome-extension_{HTR's Ext ID}_0/, but I can't find any file/folder related to H+'s ID or name, would you mind pointing out where H+ saves its own data?
