Want to export your browser history data?
Most of us browse hundreds—sometimes thousands—of pages a week. Hidden in that clickstream is a treasure trove of insights: where your time goes, which articles you actually finished, how often you visited a client’s site, or which recipe you used to cook dinner last night. Yet the browsers built-in history viewer is clunky, offers no simple export, and forces you to clear all or nothing when you want a little privacy. The Export Browser History extension fixes every one of those pain points in a single, lightweight package. Here’s why it deserves a slot on your toolbar.
One-click, spreadsheet-ready backups At the heart of the extension is its Export CSV button. Pick a start date, pick an end date, press export, and seconds later a neatly formatted file lands in your Downloads folder. Each row contains the visit date, exact time, visit count, URL, and page title—perfectly ordered for Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, or any analytics tool you like. Because it uses the standard comma-separated format, there’s no proprietary lock-in and no learning curve: open, filter, pivot, or graph to your heart’s content.
Precision privacy controls Sometimes you need to wipe evidence of a single project or a quick detour into gift-shopping—not your entire history. Enable the “Delete after export” checkbox and the extension scrubs only the window you selected, right after the CSV is written. You end up with a permanent offline copy and a cleaner local profile—no more cache-clearing nuclear options just to hide a few hours of activity.
Zero compromise on security The code is completely self-contained. It never calls an external server, never sends telemetry, and never injects third-party scripts. The only permissions it requests are:
history – to read and, if you choose, delete records
downloads – to save the CSV locally
That’s it. No creepy “read your data on all websites” prompt, no cross-origin fetches, no background trackers slowly draining your battery.
