Of course it pauses history, but there is one fatal flaw: if you previously visited a website when your history was on (extension disabled), then pause your history (extension enabled) and visit it again, previous visits will DISAPPEAR from Chrome history, with no way to retrieve them! This is terrible, since I need to find a way to be able to reload a page WITHOUT it entering the browser history AND PRESERVING previous visits! Too bad there is no way to do this, especially as Chrome has become much more aggressive about updating itself, and there is no way I can hide that Update button in the corner for too long. I would have been comfortable about updating Chrome *without* overwriting my last visits to my open tabs by using this extension, if only previous visites WERE NOT REMOVED! I hope you will be able to fix this if you can, since it is a most infuriating behaviour of Chrome.
simple and effective
I like it but it would be nice to go back pages and not show the history while you hover upon the history button.
"History On/Off" plugin for Google Chrome has a serious security flaw. Website history doesn't show while browsing. However, all one has to do is close Chrome and then re-open it. Then, when you click "Menu/History/Recently Closed" in the upper right corner of Chrome, all of your previous tabs re-open. This extension doesn't "prevent" history from being collected. It just temporarily conceals it until the next time you open Chrome. Google Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) Windows 10
It works exactly as expected, but wish you could go back to the previous page. Beggars can't be choosers though.
Extremely useful and achieves what was advertised.
This extension is not working for CHROME to click to previous pages.. But it does works for portable SRWare IRON Browser. NOTE to developers, You had such a great extension, and now its all going south. Please restore your extension. .I can use it with IRON but not w Chrome browser, and most former users use Chrome. I will give you time to restore your project and then re-evaluate this with my rating.
Back button doesn't work.
Back button doesn't work anymore.
I would just appreciated that it keeps the tab history so I may go to previous pages
My back button has stopped working!
This works! Please make the 'previous page' a toggle option, i'd prefer to have it off.
This extension has been great for a very long time and I appreciate the work it took to create it. Though as others have mentioned I can no longer return to previous pages which is an important feature for me. It still functions as before when in incognito mode however. I will use another extension until this is fixed. I hope it will be done soon. Thanks.
Can't go back to the previous page anymore. It was working perfectly until a couple of days ago.
I use this extension but in the latest version of Chrome it will also disable the back button. Had to disable for now.
I can't go back or forward to any webpages now, not any time I use Chrome in any sessions. Those buttons are grayed out.
work like a charm, thanks alot
Great ext
Excellent.
Does not block history at all. The same as all the others. None of these extensions work to block history anymore. Time to delete Chrome.
This is just wonderful! Now that Google Chrome disabled the ability to go incodnido, I needed something to block history. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
VERY NICE I LIKE YOUR ADD ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works! Chrome needs to make this a permanent feature. Until then, thanks!
i suggest this to all who would like to surf on the internet without saving his history why i say this ? Cuz any friend would like to see what u see or play anything els with this u dont give this opportunity to him and its good cuz is with Enable and Disable thanks Autor good work
best
Just what I needed. THANK YOU!
