Is HCOS auto - Hide Chrome Omnibox Suggestions Auto safe?
HCOS auto deletes browser history URLs with broad search-query markers after Google search activity.
When you use Google search or focus the Google search box, the extension scans up to 60 days of browser history and removes URLs it treats as search records. Its matching rules include generic strings such as search?, &q=, and ?q= without requiring a Google domain, so matching pages from other sites can also be deleted from history.
