What it can do for you
The browser's built-in history page is fine for a tab you just closed, but it becomes difficult when the visit was weeks or months ago. Best History organizes visits by date and hour, lets you search titles, URLs, domains, keywords, or regular expressions, and gives you batch tools to export, delete, and manage the results.
Precise multi-signal search
Search page titles, URLs, and domains with case options and regular expressions when needed.
Batch selection and deletion
Act on one visit, several visits, or the current results by URL, time, date, or domain.
CSV / HTML export
Export selected visits, search results, or a custom date range for backup and later reference.
Blocklists and allowlists
Automatically clear sites you do not want to keep while protecting important domains or pages.
Smart automatic cleanup
Choose a schedule and retention period so accumulated history follows your rules.
Local activity insights
Optionally review time spent on sites and session details, then export your personal time data.
Tabs and device sessions
Reopen recently closed tabs and view sessions that your browser sync provides from other devices.
From a vague clue back to the page you need
Best History turns “I remember seeing it somewhere” into a clear workflow. Locate the time and content, act on the results, and let repeatable rules handle future maintenance.
1. Retrace the timeline
Start with a date and hour to return to the approximate time of the visit.
2. Narrow with clues
Combine titles, URLs, domains, keywords, or regular expressions to remove unrelated visits.
3. Organize the results
Reopen useful pages, or batch-export, delete, and assign domain rules.
4. Set lasting rules
Configure retention, lists, and cleanup schedules to reduce repeated manual work.
Local-first, with clear boundaries
History views, preferences, cleanup rules, and optional time insights are processed in your browser. No account is required, and you do not have to hand your complete browsing history to an online service.
Core data stays local
Search, filtering, export, and cleanup use the history capabilities provided by your browser.
Insights are opt-in
Time-spent tracking is optional and requests its additional permission only when you enable it.
Export before deletion
Save important visits as CSV or HTML first; deletion may sync across devices and cannot be undone.
Browser limits still apply
Best History can only read visits your browser still retains and exposes to extensions; cleared history cannot be recovered.
Useful when you need to
For people who often retrace research, courses, products, or work pages—and anyone who needs regular backups, large-history organization, or more deliberate control over local browsing privacy.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about downloads, installation, supported platforms, and everyday use.
How is Best History different from the built-in history page?
The built-in page is convenient for quick recent lookups. Best History is designed for larger histories with combined search, date and hour navigation, batch actions, CSV / HTML exports, domain rules, and automatic cleanup.
Which browsing records can I export?
Export selected visits, current search results, or all retained visits within a full or custom date range as CSV or HTML. Browser extension APIs do not support importing that file back into browser history.
Could automatic cleanup remove something important?
Cleanup follows the schedule and retention period you choose, while allowlists can protect specified domains. Start with a longer retention period and a small set of rules, and export important visits before deletion.
Does Best History upload my browsing history?
Core history management runs locally in your browser. Refer to the product privacy policy and installation page for exact permission and data-handling details.
Can it recover deleted browsing history?
No. Best History can only read visits that your browser still retains and exposes to the extension. History removed by the browser or a cleanup rule cannot be recovered.
Which browsers are supported?
This site lists packages for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. The Chrome package also supports the compatible Chromium-based browsers listed on this page.
Where can I download Best History?
