Description
Browse and search your full browsing history, with no 90-day limit, and back it up to your own Cloudflare R2 bucket. This was developed primarily for personal use after my system hard disk crashed once and wiped out ~5 years of browser history. I have a habit of keeping my browsing history as a long-term archive. I often find myself searching things like “When did I visit this URL in the past?” or “What was I browsing immediately before I reached this URL?” - and that's the kind of use case this extension is built around. ⚠️Before you try it out, a couple of hard disclaimers⚠️ 🔴 This involves running a few commands in a terminal, which I know is an instant turn-off for a lot of people. If you're comfortable with a terminal, this is a piece of cake. If you're not, either follow the setup commands exactly as-is or paste them into an AI chat assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and have it walk you through each one step by step. 🔴 Cloudflare requires a credit card on file to use R2 but the free tier is generous (10GB), and for personal browsing history, that could realistically take years, maybe decades, to fill up. To put it in perspective: my own 4-year, 1.8M-visit history comes to a ~350MB TSV file, which gzips down to ~70MB in the cloud. Do the math and you'll see how far 10GB actually stretches. That said, some people just don't want to add a card, and if that's you - fair enough, but this extension won't be of much use to you. The core goal here is simple: push your history to the cloud at intervals you set, and pull it back on demand. History gets lost for all sorts of reasons - you cleared it, never had a local backup, your disk crashed, some cleaner tool wiped your cache or you just switched to a new computer. This way, you lean on Cloudflare's free tier and just... don't worry about it anymore.
