Guide · Know what is available

Your export can only contain history that still exists.

HistoryOut reads the records your current browser profile exposes. It cannot recover deleted visits or promise a complete history of everything you have ever opened.

Browser history and account activity are different sources

Chrome’s help describes the browser history page as showing pages visited in the last 90 days, excluding deleted pages and Incognito visits. Other Chromium browsers and configurations may differ. HistoryOut’s “All available history” option means all records available through the browser API.

Google’s history help and the history API documentation explain the underlying browser records.

Changing Google Activity settings does not extend the extension’s history

Google account activity and the local browser history API are different sources. HistoryOut does not read Google My Activity. Google’s data export tools may provide eligible account data separately, depending on what was stored.

If you need an automatic long-term archive

Choose a dedicated archive tool before visits expire, and learn how it stores, deletes and backs up records. Compare History Trends Unlimited and HistoryOut.

If you need a useful record now

Export the available visits to a local file. Keep that file somewhere appropriate. Uninstalling HistoryOut does not delete downloads you already saved, but it removes the extension’s local preferences and saved views.
