About

Take full control of your browsing privacy. HistoryGuard lets you block specific URLs from being saved in Chrome’s history, so sensitive sites stay off the record — all while keeping your data private on your device.

🔒 Key Features

- Private URL List – Add sites you don’t want recorded in your history.
- RegExp Support – Create flexible exclusion rules with regular expressions.
- Import & Export – Back up your list or load rules from a file.
- Simple Interface – Manage everything in just a few clicks.
- Local Storage Only – Rules are stored on your device. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared.

🚀 How It Works

1. Install HistoryGuard from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Add URLs or patterns to your exclusion list.
3. Browse normally — visits to excluded sites will not appear in your history.

✅ Privacy & Permissions

- History permission → required only to prevent excluded sites from being logged in history.
- Storage permission → used only to save your custom exclusion rules locally.

HistoryGuard never collects or shares your browsing data. All processing happens entirely within your browser.
