About History Cleaner: Auto Clean & Custom Rules
Take control of your browsing history with intelligent, rule-based automation.
What it does:
Custom History lets you define exactly what stays and what goes — no more blunt "delete everything" tools or manual cleanup. Create rules by URL pattern, domain, or time since last visit, then preview the results before any deletion happens.
Key Features:
• Rule-Based Cleaning — Delete by URL pattern (wildcard, regex, exact match, or domain), time since last visit, or combine both conditions with AND/OR logic
• Preview Before Deleting — See exactly which history entries will be deleted before running a clean. No surprises, no accidental data loss
• Never-Save Mode — Automatically delete history for specific sites as soon as you visit them. Perfect for social media, shopping, or any site you don't want tracked
• Keep Protection — Mark important sites or pages as protected. They'll never be deleted by auto-clean, bulk delete, or time-based rules
• Auto-Clean on Your Schedule — Run cleaning on browser idle, at set intervals, on startup, or only when manually triggered
• Quick Actions from History — Browse your full history with search and pagination. Add sites to keep/delete lists with one click, or delete individual entries
• Context Menu Shortcuts — Right-click any page or link to instantly add it to your keep list, delete list, or never-save list
• Export & Backup — Save all your rules and settings to a JSON file. Restore later or migrate to another device
How it works:
1. Create a rule (e.g., "Delete Reddit history older than 30 days")
2. Click Preview to see exactly what matches
3. Run Clean to delete — or refine the rule first
4. Protected sites are always safe, never-save sites are instantly forgotten
Privacy:
All data stays on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no remote servers. Your history is your business.
Permissions explained:
• History — required to read and delete browsing history
• Storage — saves your rules and settings locally
• Notifications — optional alerts when auto-clean completes
• Idle — detects when you're not using the browser to trigger cleaning
• Context Menus — adds right-click options on pages and links
• Tabs — opens the dashboard when you click the extension icon
• Alarms — schedules interval-based auto-cleaning
