Trace Eraser

Remove specific sites and time windows from your browsing history. Everything stays in your browser.

Clear the history you don't want, keep the history you do. Chrome's "Clear browsing data" is all or nothing: everything from the last hour, the last day, or forever. Trace Eraser removes just the traces you choose — one site, one evening, one embarrassing link — and leaves the rest of your history alone. UNDO THE LAST FEW MINUTES ON A SITE Opened something odd from Instagram, or clicked a YouTube link someone sent? Open Trace Eraser on that tab and choose Last 15 min, Last hour or Today. You see exactly which pages will go before anything is deleted. SEARCH BY SITE AND TIME Find pages by site (instagram.com), by path (youtube.com/watch) or by keywords, inside any time window — for example yesterday 22:00–23:30. Tick the ones to remove, or select all. NEVER KEEP CERTAIN SITES Add a site or URL pattern to your never-keep list and new visits to it are removed from history automatically, as soon as they happen. Patterns let you be precise: keep your normal Instagram history but drop instagram.com/explore/*. When you add a rule, Trace Eraser offers to clean up matching pages already in your history. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works entirely inside your browser. No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no ads. • Makes no network requests — your history never leaves your computer. • Asks only for the permissions it needs: history, storage, and access to the current tab when you open the popup. GOOD TO KNOW • Chrome can't delete a single visit, so removing a page removes all of its visits. Trace Eraser warns you when a page was also visited outside the time range you picked. • Only Chrome's history is changed. Activity stored by websites themselves (YouTube watch history, Instagram activity, Google My Activity) is not. • If Chrome Sync is on, removals and your never-keep rules sync to your other devices. • Chrome's "Recently closed" list may still show a removed page until you restart the browser. Trace Eraser is free and made by one developer. If it's useful to you, you can buy me a coffee: https://ilkerinanc.dev/support ☕ Privacy policy: https://ilkerinanc.dev/trace-eraser/privacy
