HideHist — Hide Your History

Keep selected sites out of your browser history, or pause history saving completely.

A Chrome extension that keeps the sites you choose out of your browsing history, and shares any page to Telegram in one click. FEATURES: 1. Exception list: add a domain, a page or a pattern (e.g. *.example.com, example.com/admin, localhost:3000) and those sites are removed from your history automatically. Add them from the popup or the right-click menu. 2. "Don't save any history" mode: like incognito, but only for history. New visits are not kept. Turn it on for 30 minutes, 1, 4, 8 or 12 hours, until the browser closes, or with the Alt+Shift+H shortcut (⌥ Option+⇧ Shift+H on macOS). The icon turns red so you can see it is active. 3. "Only listed sites" mode: history is kept only for the sites you pick. 4. Quick wipe: delete history for the last 5 or 15 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or all time. 5. Fast sharing: the Telegram button next to the eye sends the current page to any chat, including Saved Messages. Also available from the right-click menu. 6. Optional: also clean bookmarks, cookies, site data and the downloads list for listed sites (this signs you out of them). Choose what to clean for each site. 7. An eye button hides the list (handy for screenshots) and can be locked with a password. 8. After a tab is closed, the extension also tries to clean the "Recently closed" list. 9. Export and import of the list, sync across devices, light and dark themes, English and Ukrainian interface, and a "Report a bug" button. BENEFITS: - No accounts, no servers, no analytics: your list and settings are stored in your browser. If you turn on sync, the list is kept in your Google account by Chrome Sync. - Extra permissions (bookmarks, cookies, downloads) are requested only when you turn the related feature on. - Simple setup in a couple of clicks and flexible patterns. NOTE: Chrome does not let extensions block history from being written in advance, so an entry may appear for a moment and is deleted right away. The extension is not a full replacement for incognito mode: for example, cookies and cache are not affected by the "Don't save any history" mode. The password hides the list from people looking at your screen; it does not encrypt it.
