Disable History For Specific Websites In Chrome and Firefox
In order to take care of the websites we’ve visited, clearing everything from the browser may not be convenient. Additionally, a completely clean history can raise suspicions. Today, I will show you how to automatically delete the history of specific websites from Chrome and Firefox in real-time.
To disable history tracking on Chrome, use the History Site Blocker extension. Download it from the Chrome Web Store. After installation, the extension does not add an icon to the extension area. To configure the extension, open the Chrome Extensions page by clicking on the Chrome Menu button and selecting “Extensions” from “Tools.”
In the Extensions page, find the History Site Blocker extension and click on the “Options” link. Write down the full root level URL of the website you want to remove from the browser history tracer. You can add multiple website links, separated by commas.
Finally, when you are finished, save the settings. From now on, Chrome will not track any pages or subdomains of the websites you have specified in the extension. However, your browser will still retain other traces, such as cookies and file downloads from those websites. This is where the incognito tab comes into play.
Auto-delete History For Some Websites in Firefox
Firefox users can install the add-on HistoryBlock for the same task. After downloading the add-on from Firefox add-on center, restart your browser. Just like on Chrome, you will not see any new icon on the Firefox interface and you will have to open the Extension settings to configure the plugin.
Conclusion
That’s how you can automatically delete specific websites from the history of Chrome and Firefox. If you habitually clear the entire history to hide just a few websites, you’ll love this trick.
