Description

This extension is just a simple on/off switch. Click to pause history logging. Click again to resume. When activated, it clears the log while you are browsing. That's all it does.

Extremely bad since I turned it on couple days ago (again) I feel like my search engine has been hijacked keeps sending me to different search browsers I tried to delete it but it wasn't allowing me it kept closing the browser ever since I turned it off the browser doesn't randomly go to different search engines and it doesn't say something like Searchgate

"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

Can't go back to the previous page anymore. It was working perfectly until a couple of days ago.

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.

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 works! Please make the 'previous page' a toggle option, i'd prefer to have it off.

I would just appreciated that it keeps the tab history so I may go to previous pages

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.

I use this extension but in the latest version of Chrome it will also disable the back button. Had to disable for now.
