Is "History ADV+" on Firefox Add-ons Safe to Install?
This add-on allows user to keep track of all of the websites they visited while preserving useful metadata, such as: - focus of every tab - events associated with tab: update, remove, create - flag trackers for audible and mute - unix timestamp for all events User can access the history by clicking on add-on icon. On the add-on page user can also choose to export all history in a .csv file Known issues (soon to be resolved): - The page history becomes unresponsive and doesn't display all items - After about 68 thousand entries (averages 23 days) plugin stops recording new events
