- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander A., 10 kuud tagasiI wish there was a way to add expressions as straight-up regex entries. Wildcards are nice, but very limiting for those who know regex.
Other than that, it's a fantastic add-on! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17621662, aasta tagasi
- Rated 4 out of 5by XalpX, aasta tagasiI'd love see this extension to support firefox mobile, other than that it's a lifesaver on desktop to me
- Rated 2 out of 5by ator-dev, aasta tagasiI don't normally write negative reviews for add-ons, since I understand the process behind them and how difficult it can be to build a coherent user experience. However, there's a certain amount of care and trueness to advertising which I expect, and History AutoDelete does not meet that - nor does it appear to be under improvement despite obvious flaws.
Firstly, this add-on purports to 'auto delete history' based on domains. I have not succeeded through numerous attempts to set up this most basic of functions, which should of all things be the most accessible. So far as I can tell it expects some sort of glob syntax, and does not allow regular expressions despite the fact that this would be much more clear and versatile. Even ignoring this immediate limitation, the function doesn't seem to work no matter which settings I change, even if the regex generated would in fact match the intended URLs.
Most incriminating, however, is in the add-on's secondary purpose as an old history deleter. Such a powerful and potentially damaging function should be very clearly explained and safeguarded. Instead, a checkbox and input box pair sports a single unclear label which implies that it controls how often blocklisted history entries are cleared. Failing to make the primary function work, naturally, I deferred to fiddling with this setting. Not only did I soon find that all of my history was gone without warning, but the add-on had the nerve to continue reporting a deletion count of "0 entries". I will admit this one is partially on me, but there is zero safeguarding around this already unclear feature and doubtless other users will be making the same mistake time and time again.
I'm only granting you 2 stars since clear effort has been put into this, and I cannot currently find an alternative (though I will of course be uninstalling this attempt). Feel free to contact me if you think my review is unfair. If you still plan on developing this, I do hope the information helps. I do not wish to be harsh but for obvious reasons I am quite annoyed at the moment. - Rated 4 out of 5by Seth Falco, aasta tagasi

I was about to uninstall Firefox. But thanks to this addon I can finally delete search suggestions again! Firefox is unusable for me without this app - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17586528, 2 aastat tagasi

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15092187, 2 aastat tagasiI love that not only can you delete history older than a number of days, but also by domain. I have not experienced any problems with this plugin.
Ability to whitelist domains would be a nice plus. - Rated 5 out of 5by xiuset, 3 aastat tagasi

- Rated 1 out of 5by ArJunaZ, 3 aastat tagasiThis add-on doesn't do a damn thing. Running for weeks and hasn't deleted ANYTHING from my history. I took great care to read what little instructions offered. I added many blacklisted domains and it's as if this POS doesn't exist. Deletion of this pathetic add-on to occur in a few seconds.
- Rated 3 out of 5by mecki78, 3 aastat tagasiAddOn is good but has two flaws: First of all the UI is completely broken when you put it into the overflow menu. Second: You can only use it to blacklist domains (no history is deleted, unless domain is on the list), you cannot use it to whitelist (all history is deleted, unless domain is on the list).
