Chrome History

Sensitive browsing history may automatically be hidden. You can find these pages through the search box on the History page. For example, if you searched for a health topic and want to revisit it, type the health topic into the search box.
DescriptionUse the chrome.history API to interact with the browser's record of visited pages. You can add, remove, and query for URLs in the browser's history. To override the history page with your own version, see Override Pages.
The history API uses transition types to describe how the browser navigated to a particular URLon a particular visit. For example, if a user visits a page by clicking a link on another page, thetransition type is "link". See the reference content for a list oftransition types.
Promises are supported in Manifest V3 and later, but callbacks are provided for backward compatibility. You cannot use both on the same function call. The promise resolves with the same type that is passed to the callback.

Pulling up the history on any of these shows only the history for that specific device, but it also shows the last-opened tabs on each of the other devices. Is there a way to set Chrome to show all of my history across all devices when I open up history on any of the devices?
Over the three dots option in the right corner of Google Chrome, there has always been the option to view the Recent Tabs. It may or may not be the case that with recent updates, Google might have added the option to view multiple devices. I have 3 androids cellphone, use 1 Android emulator, and the Chrome over a Windows 10 computer.
I think that is brand new. Probably around the ver. 98 release (I have no way to prove this), since I am pretty sure years ago that option did not existed, or I never saw it. Of course you would have to log in with your google account and have the SYNC option with all or most options turned on for that to work, show up.
I too want to see Chrome history for all my devices, whether that device is signed in or not. I used to be able to do this via +h, but then Chrome de-featured and just showed me 'logged in devices,' and now since a subsequent de-featuring, that no longer includes my Android device. I can see my Android history via the above steps, but what a PITA. I still have no way to see PC #1's history while I am using my PC #2 if my PC #1 is in sleep-mode. While PC #1's history may be in under the Chrome filter (URL tail is "'product=6"), I cannot obtain any device info the history as displayed in MyActivity. FML. and FG2.
Working on a script to collect users browser history with time stamps ( educational setting).Firefox 3 history is kept in a sqlite file, and stamps are in UNIX epoch time... getting them and converting to readable format via a SQL command in python is pretty straightforward:
If you go to the following location C:\Users\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default and look at the file named history you can see if there is data in the file. I do not remember if application viewer will pop up for this or not for sqlite. Look to see if there is data in the table.
The table does contain data and Autopsy can parse/read it. And, from Autopsy, it can be extracted and imported into an sqlite browser and queried/read or each table can be exported from Autopsy as CSV.
@apriestman @Mark_McKinnon Very sorry for the misleading statements earlier in the thread. Here is the log file run on an OSX image using Autopsy version 4.19.3. (Recents module run only.) The Chrome history file is located in /Users/User1/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/ on this machine. The file contains history data, as explained earlier. The Recents module output Safari history only.
Yes, that is where I am fixing it first on Autopsy. I will next fix it on my Macos RA NBM plugin as I see that you can also have profiles on Macos as well. I will check to see if this functionality is also on Linux as well.
Chrome was interfering with my autofill with 1Password, often both trying to fill different password. To stop the interference, I deleted my advanced Chrome history including the auto fill passwords.
I've lost access to Facebook for example, as 1Password also had the two-factor authentication. I've looked in the deleted items, and the passwords newly created in Chrome have all deleted.
I'm sorry that you're having trouble finding your passwords. Clearing Chrome's browsing history will not affect the items that you have saved in 1Password. However, if you selected "Passwords and passkeys" when clearing Chrome's browsing history that will erase any items that you're storing in the built-in password manager in Chrome. The built-in manager in Chrome works separately from 1Password.
While you should clear your web browser's cache, cookies, and history periodically in order to prevent or resolve performance problems, you may wish to record some of your saved information first. If you are unable to do so, see Troubleshooting alternatives below.
If you don't see instructions below for your specific version or browser, search your browser's Help menu for "clear cache". If you're unsure what browser version you're using, from the Help menu or your browser's menu, select About [browser name]. In Firefox, if you don't see the menu bar, press Alt.
If you need to clear your cache, cookies, and history for troubleshooting purposes, but aren't yet prepared to lose the content listed above, you may wish to consider using a private browsing window in your preferred browser as a temporary solution:
The steps to clear your cache, cookies, and history may differ depending on the model of your Android device and your preferred browser, but you should be able to clear your cache and data from your application management settings menu:
I recently bought 14 Pro which has helped to give some life back into my old work horse of a PC, but there's still one minor quibble that I can't seem to squash. And as the title of the thread suggests, it's that ASC keeps deleting my Chrome history and it's making me tear my hair out trying to keep it from doing that.
3. Click Protect panel > click the Settings icon of Browser Protection > click Anti-Tracking on the left panel > In the right panel, find Browsing Data and uncheck the items that you do not want to be cleared from your browsers.
Every time I go to import my chrome bookmarks, history and passwords I get a message to close all Chrome windows. This happens even when brave is the only browser/ window open. How do I get around this? I want to make Brave my default but need to imoport that data from Chrome.
Hi - I just tried out this chrome extension which makes it pretty easy to download an itemized csv of the Amazon items you have purchased. It is much faster and easier than doing the privacy information request I read about in the official tiller guide.
@pmk Another thing you can do to make itemized Amazon transactions easier to track is to get the Amazon Store Card (Synchrony) and use that to make your Amazon purchases as it will load in your item purchase details straight into the Transaction description that comes into Tiller. Pros: Much easier than the other workflows. Cons: Requires getting a new credit card which may or may not be a good option for you.
google.script.history is an asynchronous client-side JavaScript API that can interact with the browser history stack. It can only be used in the context of a web app that uses IFRAME. It is not intended for use with sidebars and dialogs in an add-on or container-script context. For more information, see the guide to using browser history in web apps.MethodsMethodReturn typeBrief descriptionpush(stateObject, params, hash) void Pushes the provided state object, URL parameters and URL fragment onto the browser history stack.replace(stateObject, params, hash) void Replaces the top event on the browser history stack with the provided state object, URL parameters and URL fragment.setChangeHandler(function) void Sets a callback function to respond to changes in the browser historyDetailed documentationpush(stateObject, params, hash)Pushes the provided state object, URL parameters and URL fragment onto the browser history stack. The state object is a simple JavaScript Object that is defined by the developer and can contain any data relevant to the app's current state. This method is analogous to the pushState() JavaScript method.
