What is DynamicHistory?
DynamicHistory is a Firefox add-on that automatically removes browsing history based on the website you are on and the content on the page. It allows you to choose which pages should not be tracked by scanning every website you visit. With a simple filter modification in the add-on preferences, you can control the history removal. DynamicHistory also provides visual indicators for pages that are not tracked, ensuring your privacy. Please note that this add-on may not remove all history, so it's recommended to occasionally check your history for complete assurance.

Summary

Automatically remove browsing history based on the website you are on and the content on the page!

For example, you could choose to not keep history for any page with the word 'bad-history' on it. DynamicHistory will scan every website you visit and remove any pages containing the word 'bad-history'.

Any page that will not keep history will have a red border around it along with it's tab highlighted red and bolded, if you do not see this on a page you specified to not be tracked, check your filters again! These indicators can be toggled in the addon preferences.

The filters can be modified in the addon preferences. The 'Always Clear' domain filter will also remove all previous history on domains where the filter is activated (if "Check Entire URL" is not active)!

Cookies and cache data WILL NOT be removed. The page may also appear on Firefox's "New Tab" page or also in the recently closed tabs list (if the page is closed).

NOTE: Do not fully rely on this addon removing all your history, when in doubt glance at your history every once in awhile just to make sure!

KNOWN BUGS:

  • Some weird stylesheets may prevent the red border from showing up
