Eternal History

A Chrome extension that makes your browser history unlimited and searchable by storing it in bookmarks with a hierarchical folder structure.

✨ Features

• 📚 Unlimited History Storage: Store your browsing history permanently using Chrome bookmarks
• 🖼️ New Tab Search UI: Replace New Tab with history search UI.
• 🔍 Fast Search: Search through your entire history with real-time filtering

🎯 Why Eternal History?

Chrome's default history has limitations:

• Limited retention period
