Add-on summary

This add-on automatically deletes the browsing history of registered sites. It does not delete all previous browsing history for those sites, but rather deletes the history of pages visited during the period when the add-on is enabled. This is useful to avoid saving the browsing history of Google Translate, which generates a history entry every time you type, or Google Maps, which generates a history entry every time you move or zoom in on a location. History AutoDelete causes high CPU load when you keep typing text in Google Translate, but this add-on prevents that from happening. History AutoDelete's ability to delete all history is not included in this add-on because I don't need it, but My other add-on Delete Browsing History Of Domain Of Current Page does the same thing.

User reviews

It's weird that this addon isn't more popular. It helps to keep everything neat and tidy when every click or button press pollutes your history with a whole bunch of entries, making it harder to search through it. Wish it worked on Android as well, but what can you do.

beware, this is spyware. I ran some tests and this plugin collects personal data without consent.
