Overview
Browser Memory replaces the basic Chrome History page with a searchable browsing workspace. Instead of a flat list of visited pages, it automatically organizes your activity into a Timeline, Sessions, Domains, Search, Favorites, Notes, and Collections.
Sessions are grouped automatically using inactivity gaps, with deterministic "smart titles" like "Development Research" or "Shopping Research" based on the sites you visited — no AI, just local rules. Everything runs locally: there is no backend, no account, no cloud sync, and no AI API of any kind. Your history never leaves your device.
Built for
Researchers, developers, and anyone who browses in bursts and wants to find their way back to a session, not just a URL.
Problem solved
Chrome's history page is a flat, unsearchable list of URLs, so scattered research across many tabs and days is nearly impossible to revisit.
Features
Timeline — every page visited, grouped by day, with a date picker and range filter
Sessions — browsing auto-grouped by inactivity gaps with deterministic smart titles
Domains — every site visited, ranked by activity, with one-click "open all pages"
Search — fast local search across titles, URLs, domains, and notes with highlighted matches
Favorites — star pages that matter and find them instantly
Notes — attach a note to any page in your history
Collections — manual research folders to group related pages
Export — CSV/JSON export for sessions, collections, or search results
Privacy
Browser Memory runs entirely locally. There is no backend, no account, no cloud sync, and no AI API of any kind. Your history never leaves your device. App-specific data (favorites, notes, collections, settings, cached session data) is stored in the browser's local IndexedDB, not sent to chrome.storage.sync or any server.
Permissions
Why this extension requests each permission.
history
Core to the extension — reads your Chrome history to build the Timeline, Sessions, Domains and Search views. Never transmitted anywhere.
storage
Not used for large data (see IndexedDB) — reserved for lightweight extension state.
tabs
Needed to open or restore pages and multi-tab sessions (e.g. "Restore 18 tabs from this session?").
favicon
Lets the UI show each site's icon using Chrome's built-in favicon cache — no external image requests.
activeTab
Grants temporary access to the current tab only when the user presses the toggle-overlay keyboard shortcut — not a standing grant.
scripting
Lets the toggle-overlay shortcut inject a small, self-contained Settings overlay into the current tab on demand. No content script runs automatically or on page load.
chrome_url_overrides.history
Replaces the default chrome://history page with the Browser Memory workspace.
