Is there a Chrome plugin that shows I've been to this page before and highlights links leading to pages I've visited?

Question

Google Chrome

Good day. In the course of analyzing numerous monotonous web pages and articles, especially on sites with not the most understandable and convenient interface (such as reviews on irecommend.ru), I came across the fact that I sometimes forget where I started. And when I go to the next page / article, I do not immediately understand that I have already been on it or that it is already open in another tab.
Therefore, there was a need for automated marking of visited pages according to history in Chrome with some kind of floating window, and also, even better, marking links that lead to pages already in history (not marking links that have already been clicked, namely marking links leading to what is already in the history, so that such links are marked even if I did not click them ).
Who knows plugins with similar functionality and do they exist in principle?

Answer 1

Hello! I was flipping through the VK feed and came across your question . I also encountered the need to somehow mark visited pages in order not to double-examine some material. I wrote a couple of simple open-source ( MIT License ) extensions for the Chromium browser that allow me to partially solve this problem. I think this is the right time to share them.
[Chrome Web Store] [GitHub]
This extension adds the following icon to the browser panel:
When you click on it with the left mouse button (LMB), the web page address is written to the extension's local storage, and the icon changes color to red:
The red icon is an indicator that the web page address is recorded in the extension's history. Thus, when visiting this page again, the icon will be red, which means that this web page has already been visited / explored / processed, etc.
In order to view the history of the extension, you need to right-click on the extension icon (RMB) and select the Show Saved History... item , after which a separate web page will open, where all saved addresses will be listed in the table.
To remove a web page address from the extension's history, right-click on the extension's icon and select Delete this Page from History . After deletion, when visiting this web page, the extension icon will be grayed out again.
[Chrome Web Store] [GitHub]
This extension adds the following icon to the browser panel:
When you click on it with LMB, a text box opens in which you can write a note to the web page. On keyup/cut/paste text field events, the note is saved to local storage.
When visiting a web page that already has a note attached, the extension icon will look like this:
You can click on this icon again and edit the note in the pop-up text box.
In both extensions, all data is stored only locally and is not sent anywhere. The web-store JavaScript library is used to work with local storage (localStorage) .. The data is stored in the extension's local storage in clear text and is not encrypted in any way.

What if I'm searching for something on the message board and I want to flag links to ads that don't suit me?
To avoid visiting them again and save time.
