Why You Need This

Two Problems This Extension Solves for Good

Built for two real-world scenarios where Chrome's built-in history falls completely short.

Personal Use

Never Lose History Again

Chrome's history disappears the moment you clear it — accidentally or on purpose. If you've ever desperately needed a site you visited weeks ago, you know the frustration. Browser History Tracker silently maintains your own permanent, searchable log that survives browser clears, reinstalls, and history deletions. Your browsing record, always there when you need it.

Parental Monitoring

Complete Parental Oversight — Including Incognito

Chrome's built-in history is trivially easy for kids to clear — and it shows nothing from Incognito mode. Browser History Tracker runs silently in the background, capturing every site visited — normal and Incognito alike — and locks the dashboard behind a password only you control. Parents get a complete, tamper-resistant record of all online activity on their device.

Full Feature Set

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

A comprehensive history tracking solution packed into a lightweight Chrome extension.

Core Tracking

Comprehensive Logging

Silently records every visited URL along with its page title, date, and exact timestamp — all without interrupting your browsing.

Incognito Support

Uniquely tracks websites visited during Incognito/Private browsing sessions and distinctly tags them so they're easy to identify — something Chrome's own history never shows.

Security & Privacy

Password-Protected Access

The history dashboard is completely hidden and locked behind a secure popup. Nobody can access your records without the password.

Custom Password Management

Change the default master password to any custom password of your choice, so your history is protected on your own terms.

Failsafe Reset

A "Reset to Master Password" option ensures you can always regain access, even if you forget your custom password — you can never permanently lock yourself out.

Secure History Deletion

You can clear the entire history log — but only after re-entering your current password. This prevents accidental deletion and stops unauthorized users from wiping your records.

History Dashboard

Modern Dashboard Interface

A clean, full-page dashboard that organizes your history chronologically by date — "Today," "Yesterday," and older dates — making it easy to find what you're looking for.

Infinite Scrolling

Loads 100 records at a time and automatically loads more as you scroll — keeping the dashboard blazing fast even with thousands of history entries.

Smart Real-Time Search

A dynamic search bar that filters through page titles, URLs, and timestamps in real-time as you type — no waiting, no page reloads.

Mode Filtering

Quick-filter buttons to instantly isolate your history — switch between "All," "Normal," and "Incognito" browsing with a single click.

Quick Actions & Smart UI

One-Click URL Copy

A dedicated copy button on every history item instantly copies the URL to your clipboard and shows a smooth toast notification to confirm.

Open in Incognito

Instantly relaunch any previously visited link directly into a fresh Incognito window — one click, no copy-pasting.

Context-Aware Interface

The login screen dynamically adjusts its labels — such as swapping between "Master Password" and "Password" — depending on your security settings, so the UI always feels clear and relevant.

Prominent Status Alerts

Clear, color-coded banner messages for errors (red) and successes (green) keep you fully informed of every action — nothing happens silently without feedback.

Installation Guide

Install in Under 2 Minutes

Chrome doesn't allow extensions from outside the Web Store to be installed by double-clicking — you need to load it manually using Developer Mode. Here's exactly how.

1

Download & Extract the ZIP File

Click the download button above to save Browser_History.zip to your computer. Right-click the ZIP file and select "Extract All" to unzip it. You'll get a folder — remember where you saved it.

2

Open Chrome Extensions Page

In Google Chrome, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner, then go to Extensions → Manage Extensions. Or simply type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter.

3

Enable Developer Mode

In the top-right corner of the Extensions page, toggle on "Developer mode". This allows Chrome to load extensions from your local files.

4

Load the Extension

Click the "Load unpacked" button that appears after enabling Developer Mode. In the file picker, navigate to and select the extracted folder (not the ZIP file — the folder inside it). Click "Select Folder."

5

Pin the Extension & Set Your Password

The extension will appear in your Chrome toolbar. Click the puzzle piece icon and pin Browser History Tracker for easy access. Click the extension icon — you'll be prompted to enter the default password on first launch.

Change Your Password (Recommended)

Once logged in, go to Settings inside the dashboard and set a custom password to secure your history. You can always reset back to the master password if you ever forget yours.

Incognito tracking note: To track Incognito sessions, you must allow the extension in Incognito mode. After installation, go to chrome://extensions, click Details on Browser History Tracker, and turn on "Allow in Incognito."

There's a built-in Failsafe Reset option. Using the original master password, you can always reset back to the default — so you can never permanently lose access to your history.
No. The extension runs silently in the background with minimal resource usage. The dashboard uses infinite scrolling, loading only 100 records at a time, so it stays fast even with tens of thousands of entries.
Yes. Browser History Tracker works on Chrome for both Windows and Mac. The extension uses only standard Chrome APIs, so it runs identically on both platforms. Linux support has not been tested.
