Promnesia: A Powerful Browser Extension for Browsing History Analysis
Promnesia is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Firefox mobile. Developed by Dmitrii Gerasimov, this free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically Add-ons & Tools. Promnesia enhances the traditional browser history by providing a sidebar with additional features.
Unlike most modern browsers that only display the time of your visit, Promnesia allows you to explore your browsing history in context. It gives you the ability to answer various questions about the current web page. For instance, you can find out if you have visited the page before and when, why you bookmarked it, how you ended up on the page, and which links on the page you have already explored. Additionally, Promnesia enables you to trace back the source of a link, jump to the message that sent you the link, and track which posts from a blog page you have already read.
To fully leverage the benefits of Promnesia, it is recommended to set up a supplementary service. Detailed instructions can be found on the official GitHub page of the extension.
