Better History
A history interface inspired by Vivaldi.
What is Better History?
'Better History' is a Firefox add-on designed to enhance the way you browse your history. Its inspiration comes from Vivaldi and it tackles user experience by implementing a new layout that splits your history into daily, weekly, and monthly views. This layout arrangement lets users scroll through historical data in a more organized and readable fashion, making it easier for users to find, revisit, or clear specific items from their browsing history.

Recent reviews
Considering the search doesn't work and that's the only useful feature in the default firefox history, I fail to see how this is a "Better History". The GUI looks great, but search is required. So close, yet so far.
As mentioned on the extensions github page it is unfortunately no longer being maintained.
A new fork of this extension called Better History NG has all the most important currently broken features such as the history search fixed!
