Fade Away: Auto-Delete Browser History

Automatically deletes browsing history older than the period you set. Keep nothing, or keep 1 second to 365 days.

Leave no browsing history behind. Fade Away automatically deletes Chrome browsing history older than the period you choose. DELETE HISTORY OLDER THAN THE PERIOD YOU SET Set how long to keep your history, and anything older is always deleted (off by default). Choose "1 hour," and only the last hour of history remains. • Choose None, 5 or 30 seconds; 1, 5, 15 or 30 minutes; 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours; 1 or 3 days; 1 or 2 weeks; or 1 or 3 months • Choose "None" to delete every page as soon as you open it • Or pick "Custom" to set any period from 1 second to 365 days, in seconds, minutes, hours or days • History is deleted whenever you open a page and every minute (more often for periods under a minute) • History that passed the period while Chrome was closed is deleted as soon as Chrome starts again Note: When you turn it on or shorten the period, history older than the period is deleted right away. SIMPLE TO USE Turn it on and pick a period from the toolbar button. That's all. The toolbar icon shows ON or OFF, so you can see the status at a glance. The interface follows Chrome's language setting (English or Japanese). PRIVACY Everything runs on your computer, and no browsing data is ever sent anywhere.
