2022-08-06	R3G3N3R4T0R		As advertised, it filters and clears all history entries matching the regex and edit some of them with a trim and keep rule. as Serge said it would be nice to have the ability to toggle each rule on/off, I think it also helps if there is an import/export function that I can edit so I can do those things on my own. Another thing to nitpick is that it doesn't use PCRE, but that might be overpowered and is expected.
2022-04-14	Serge		The addon is very useful for me. But I have two minor notes about its functionality. - IMO, it could be nice to have ability to toggle each rule on/off. - Please, recheck regex in your Example 2. It matches almost everything. )) UPDATE: One more suggestion: - It could be nice to have an additional text field for every rule. Something like 'Name' or 'Comments'.

2021-05-21	Firefox user 15251161		There are hundreds of thousands of irrelevant entries in my Firefox history; current method to get rid of those is to open History, pick Manage History, then a time period, sort by URL and manually select the addresses to be deleted. An automated way to search for superfluous URLs would be useful, and the Regex History Filter sounds like just what's needed. Unfortunately I'm really old, like 65+ years of age, and not too bright anymore; therefore need really clear written instructions on what to include in the URL box and why; for example if a dot acts as a wildcard then please state so in your instructions, and next to that include how to prevent this, perhaps be placing a \ in front of it. Next : https:// seems to need to be removed, but then please state in words whether www. needs to be included or not : should www\. be included? Have set various Rules, both with and without www\. , and suffixes like /nl /saved and other elements : The upshot is that the history items to be removed stay in, which makes this a useless extension - at least useless without proper newbie / naïve computer user documentation. So two stars for the programming effort, but nil for the documentation makes one star only. Would be happy to change review if someone as ignorant like could use it.
