Reyhan Wahyono (ID: 000000339076bb16) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/19/2021 It'll be good if we can set a shortcut to clear the history.

P Z (ID: 0000003e8261687f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/25/2020 Can't stop it from closing all ur tabs - and why would I want that? And its not one click - its 2 - plus it doesn't stay at 24 hours - it goes back to 5 mins which is useless. If you "forget" -- get it? -- for a few days, what use is clearing just 24 hours? -- this could be a great extension with some tweaking - As is I'm removing it.
