Extended History is designed for Google Chrome but may work with other Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge, Brave, or Vivaldi. However, full compatibility is not guaranteed.
No. Extended History uses efficient event-driven tracking and minimal background processes. It's designed to have negligible impact on browser performance.
Extended History replaces the default history page (chrome://history) but doesn't delete your existing Chrome history. It maintains both its own enhanced database and continues to sync with Chrome's native history system.
