Google Chrome History Manager

Google Chrome’s web history manager displays a neat list of visited websites sorted by date with options to search for specific pages using the search form at the top of the screen. The listing can get very crowded as the Chrome browser records the access of every page on every domain that the user has visited. Especially forums and other websites with many different pages fill up the history listing with no option to hide specific entries or domains from the display.

History 2 is an extension for the Google Chrome browser that offers a different approach to displaying the web browser’s history. The biggest difference between History 2 and the default history manager is that the former sorts the history entries by domain.

That coupled with the option to collapse all history entries of a domain make the history manager more comfortable to work with especially if domains are listed with dozens or even hundreds of visited pages.

History 2 can display the history of the last six days or the whole week. There is no option to go further back than that which is something that the developer should consider improving so that all of the history is displayed in the history manager.

The only option to search history entries that data back to more than seven days is to use the original history manager of the Chrome web browser.

History 2 is an extension for the Google Chrome 4 web browser which can be installed directly at the official Google Chrome extension’s site.
