Is Better History | Manage, Export, and Delete History safe?
Better History reads and manages Chrome history locally, with network use limited to icons and user feedback.
Better History replaces the Chrome history page and uses the browser history API to search, export, and delete entries on the user's device. The stored analysis found no transmission of browsing history; domain names may be sent to Google's favicon service for site icons, and user-entered feedback can be submitted to Better History's mail endpoint.
