- Rated 5 out of 5by Boni Aditya, 4 years agoThis might be the only addon which is trying to visualize the browsing history. I searched the entire Chrome addon collection but could not find any. I was trying to find an alternative to good old safari's cover flow history view, but i was disappointed as that feature was removed. I have one request for the developer, the quality of the snapshots is extremely low. Can you please include the ability to increase the size of the thumbnails or decrease them? Also a cover flow view of all these thumbnails would put this addon on an entirely different level.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15494527, 5 years agoHi guys, I tell you the story of one day that I'll mark with a black cross on my calendar. I run firefox 68 on a mobile device under android. Well I had 100+ tabs open and remarked that firefox was devastating my battery. Thus I searched an add-on to manage the session and save the tabs for later use. The add-on I have installed has wiped out ALL tabs beyond recovery. The sync function doesn't help here because of a random reliability. So I tried to recover some data through the browsing history. On a mobile device FF limits the accessible history pages you may access directly, why? I am clueless. One way to retrieve datais by entering 3 letters in the search bar such as "man" and access all the manuals you have been searching for in the last months. A tedious work. So, I decided to install an add-on that would better access and handle the history that FF does. Thus historyfy. As a first measure historyfy DELETED ALL my browsing history....Voila my tabs and my history gone forever. Last but not least, historyfy doesn't display anything!
That is how two add-on ruined my day.Developer response
posted 5 years agoI apologize for the inconvenience, however Historify has no permissions to edit or delete your browsing history. It can only read and thus display your browsing history - it is technically not possible that Historify deleted your browsing history. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15018270, 6 years agoThis is a wonderful, simple extension. I use it to keep an eye on my children's online activity, and for this reason, I really like that the Historify history doesn't delete when someone deletes the Firefox history. There are already dozens of extensions that focus on deleting history, and this is one of the only I could find that actually saves it. Thank you!
Also, unlike a previous reviewer, I hope that you do not remove the option to run Historify in private windows. This option is also really helpful for those of us using the extension with children.
I look forward to the developer adding visit dates, and would love to see a time stamp added as well. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5509417, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14072894, 7 years agoRecording even in private browsing. This should be disabled by default.
Very slow to load a lots of history pages with screenshots.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the feedback! Disabling the recording in private mode is something that I've planned for the next update. The loading speed is also on my to do list but I haven't found the time to improve it yet :O - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14063781, 7 years agoSchönes Addon. Wäre noch gut wenn es mehrer Sprachen zur Auswahl geben würde!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13389844, 7 years agoThis addon really helps me out. I don't like the fact that the history reloads when I click on the settings for example and go back to the history. I would love to see a fix for that in the next update!
