History Monk
History Monk is a browser history manager for Chrome, Edge and Firefox that provides instant search, advanced filters, bulk deletion, cleanup tools, recently closed tabs and exports. It helps people find, organize, archive and remove browsing history through a local browser-based workflow.
Browser history search and management
History Monk is a browser history manager for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It replaces the standard browser history page with an interface for finding visited pages, filtering results by site or time, reviewing browsing patterns and removing selected history.
The extension is designed for local history workflows: searches update as you type, bulk actions can target sites or result sets, and exports are created in the browser and saved to Downloads. It also includes recently closed tabs, device-tab viewing in Chrome, timeline and analytics views, cleanup suggestions, and configurable themes and languages.
History Monk features
Advanced filters
Combine operators such as site:, title:, url:, after:, before:, visits: and regular expressions to narrow results by source, date, page fields or visit count.
Bulk deletion
Select every page from a site or delete all pages matching a search. Site deletion asks for confirmation, and protected sites can be excluded from removal.
History cleanup
Review groups of potentially unwanted pages, including duplicates, login pages and old searches, before deleting them. Cleanup groups can also be exported.
Recently closed and device tabs
Reopen recently closed tabs and search the closed-tab list. Chrome users can also view open tabs from other signed-in computers and phones through Chrome sync.
History export
Export all history, filtered results or Cleanup groups as CSV, JSON or an offline HTML page. Files include page title, URL, site, last-visited time and visit count, with formats suited to spreadsheets, scripts or offline reading.
Practical use cases
Recover a page from a large history
Use a remembered word, partial title or site name to locate a page without scrolling through browser history. Search operators can refine the result when the page is only partly remembered.
Clear one site or a batch of pages
Select a domain and remove its stored pages in one action, or target a search result set. Confirmation prompts and protected sites provide a review step before deletion.
Create a focused history archive
Filter history by site or date, then export the selected pages as CSV for spreadsheets, JSON for scripts or HTML for offline browsing. Cleanup groups can be preserved before they are deleted.
Continue work across closed or synced tabs
Reopen an accidentally closed page from Recently closed, or find an open tab from another Chrome-synced device when moving between a phone, tablet and computer.
