A history that helps you get back to work
Search by what was on a page, not only by the words you remember from its title. Then use sessions, journeys and time insights to understand your browsing.
Time analytics
See measured active-time shares, daily trends, busy hours, top sites and measurement coverage.
Sessions and journeys
Reconnect related visits into browsing sessions and navigation paths instead of one endless list.
Notes and organization
Star important pages, add tags and notes, filter repeat visits, and export or import a JSON backup.
Private by design
The extension explains what it will collect before capture begins. If you enable it, information is written to the extension's local IndexedDB database and used only for its visible history features.
Your browser stays yours.Better Browser History replaces only Chrome's History page. It does not replace New Tab, your homepage, startup pages, bookmarks or search provider.
Open source and inspectable
There are no remote scripts and no server dependency. The capture pipeline, deterministic analytics, automated tests and packaged releases are available in the public repository.
