After installation

Hi, before run the extension, I was reading the full history manually and because it was too long, the browser kept jumping back to the 1 line, and I decided installing your extension. To avoid lose the data, I tested your extention with another profile, and it was pretty good. When I jumped to the second profile and runs the extension everything gone...I got a few lines...from the history day and I had since 2022 data. Is there anything to do?

Order & ID significance

Hi there,
I need to export the chrome history from a user profile I use across 8 different machines. I see that it exported all the history from all 8 machines, but I don't understand how to differentiate the traffic movement. Assuming that's what the order and ID columns are for, what do these columns mean?

Export history from old history files.

I have been dumping chrome history from the chrome db as csv using a sqlite command. But recently Chrome has changed how it stores duplicate pages and they only appear once which is why I installed this extension (thanks!) . But I still need to export some of my older history db files which I have backed up. Is there a way to export from those backed up history db files?

What do do with either JSON or CSV files?

I exported Chrome history in two formats: JSON and CSV. I installed Chrome in another PC and I need to import browsing history from old PC. When I click on the CSV, Excel opens it. When I click on the json file nothing happens. I don't know how to restore browsing history from json or csv file. Please, can you provide a clear explanation?

Unfortunately, this extension doesn't allow you to transfer Chrome history from one browser to another. It's targeted to people who want to look at their data in a spreadsheet (csv) or analyze it using a program (json). If you want to transfer Chrome history to a new computer, you probably want to google how to do this.

An abbreviated method that works for now is to copy the "C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History" file and transfer it to the same location on the new computer. This will overwrite your new computer's history.

VisitCount and TypedCount

Does the VisitCount column cap at 1084? And what does the TypedCount column signify?

Hi, VisitCount should have no cap. If the number is not going up, the page URL you're visiting might not exactly match, you may need to close and reopen the extension, or there may be a bug. TypedCount is the number of times you got that page by typing the URL in the address bar.

Time stamp in ms

Hi,
This is a great extension. I am currently working on a university project, and I am experimenting if I can use the data of my browser history for it. I wanted to know if its possible to get the time stamp in milliseconds? Or if I can convert it somehow using the export?
I am assuming you used the chrome.history API.

Hi, you're right that I use chrome.history. If you export the json file, it has the visit time in milliseconds since the epoch. That value isn't in the csv since most people won't be interacting with the csv file programmatically.

If you really want milliseconds in the csv and don't mind hacking into the extension, try opening the extension pop-up, right clicking, click "Inspect", go to the Sources tab, find the core.js file, replace `const time = csvTime(visitTime)` with `const time = historyItem.visitTime`, and click the Download as CSV button.
