History Sweep

Find, select, and delete browsing history in batches. A calmer, more private way to tidy up Chrome.

Five hundred pages shouldn't take five hundred clicks. History Sweep helps you find the browsing history you want to remove, select all matching URLs, and clear them in batches. FIND EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN Choose smart matching, an exact domain, a domain with its subdomains, or text in a title or URL. Type X to match the x domain label, including x.com. Use comma-separated domains to include multiple sites. SELECT ONCE, REVIEW BEFORE REMOVING Select every matching URL with one click, even when the list is longer than the current preview. Uncheck pages you want to keep. Review the number of selected URLs before confirming deletion. SMALL OR SPACIOUS Use the toolbar popup for quick tasks, open the full workspace with your current query and date filters, or choose an in-page modal in opening preferences. Start an exact-domain search from the current-website button or page right-click menu; these entries never select or delete automatically. NARROW BY DATE, KEEP IMPORTANT WEBSITES Filter by last visit using a preset or an inclusive custom date range. Save kept websites to exclude a domain and its subdomains from selection. Opening the extension shows the last three local calendar days without selecting anything. Review the same results by date or website, with counts of unique pages. Inspect selected pages in the deletion preview. LOCAL SEARCH SUGGESTIONS As you type, suggestions from your browsing history help complete domains and find titles or URLs. Suggestions and their indexes are processed locally in memory, with no remote service. PRIVATE BY DESIGN History is processed in your browser and never uploaded by the extension. No account, analytics, or ads. The history permission lets it read and remove browsing history; activeTab supports user-invoked website searches and the in-page modal, scripting inserts the chosen modal host, contextMenus adds the website right-click entry, storage saves kept-domain rules, the opening preference, and daily cleanup counts with hostname/latest-title/last-visit summaries only on this device, without complete deleted URLs; favicon displays Chrome-provided website icons in group headings and local activity. It does not access passwords, cookies, bookmarks, or webpage contents. ENGLISH AND SIMPLIFIED CHINESE The interface starts in English. Switch languages in either view; your preference is saved locally. PLEASE NOTE Deleting a URL removes all its visits, including visits outside the chosen date range, and cannot be undone. Chrome may sync deletions across signed-in devices. Confirmed deletion continues if you close the extension window. Keep Chrome running; reopen and search to review the result. Tasks cannot resume after Chrome exits. Scans are limited to 100,000 distinct URLs; a notice appears when the limit is reached. The extension verifies selected URLs after deletion and identifies those still present. Screenshots use illustrative data, not real browsing history.
