About this extension
Forgetful removes chosen pages from your browsing history as you browse — no private window needed.

HOW IT WORKS

Open the popup and mark the current site: every visit to it — including www. and any subdomain — is deleted from history automatically, from now on. Or mark the tab: everything you open in it stays out of history until the tab is closed. You can also match pages by title, with plain-text or regular-expression patterns.

FEATURES

• Per-site rules — add a site once and it never appears in your history again (subdomains included)
• Per-tab mode — one click keeps a whole browsing session off the record
• Title patterns — match pages by title (plain text or regex)
• History cleanup tool — search existing history by URL, title and date range, then delete matches in bulk
• Firefox Sync — rules and settings follow your Firefox account across devices and reinstalls, with room for thousands of sites
• Status badge — a green check on the toolbar icon means the current page is being kept out of history
• Import/export — full backup as JSON, or just the site list as plain text (one domain per line)
• Dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Forgetful collects no data and makes no network requests. Everything stays on your device or in your own Firefox account.
