History / address bar blacklist ("Forget about this site")
-
I'd like to have some kind of blacklist for pages I'd like to be wiped from history / address bar MRU,
Examples:
- GMail
- bank services
I'd like to be logged in on these sites.
But there are some websites that just generate trashy history entries.
Like mail (for me)
I know that I visited webmail client. And I never want to go back to mails via browser history.
So it will be reasonable to:- exclude entries about some site from history
or
- delete entry about it after some delay
It is also about MRU list in omnibox.
-
Blacklist like:
example.com/category/* -
A dialog for manual launching feature like this will be also a nice addidion.
Example scenario:
Wipe all cookies / history entries from domain*facebook*
-
This would be great for this very forum - prevent entries that matching the regexp
/https:\/\/forum.vivaldi.net\/topic\/\d+\/[\d\w-]+\/\d*/
from entering, that way it doesn't add a history item every time you scroll down a page.

I always found it strange that there's no HTTP or HTML flag to suggest avoiding "history caching".

Interesting with an option with a delay. And with subdomains : often some site use subdomains google sites.

A history blacklist would also be highly useful to help people avoid procrastination. One tends to consult time-wasting websites much more often if all one has to do is type a single letter for the auto-completion, rather than the whole address. I observe this effect whenever I have deleted my history.

+1 for this feature request. In my case, I'd like to exclude search engines from being added to the history. My previous searches heavily dominate the history-based suggestions when I enter something in the address bar but they are rarely useful to me.

In Settings, have you disabled Address Bar -> Address Field Drop Down Menu -> Show search results
?It's not an answer to this request but might help you as a workaround until a blacklist exists...

With the new introduction of history sync, having a pre-emptive blacklist for certain sites might be helpful
