[Historia] remove tab (history) from history when closing with shortcut

Open KamelittaOida opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Hello would it be possible to implement something like this?

"Remove all pages viewed in the closed (more like current) tab from the browser's history"

What is the "closed tab"?

Do you want to have an option/menu to close and remove from history?

The history search is very resource intensive.

Historia delete activates when a new history entry is added. However, looking for an entry when closing the tab (which is not the same as when the history entry is created) requires searching the history database which is very slow.

:S :'( "[...] searching the history database which is very slow."

"closed tab" is the current tab. so: http://cnn.com/page/ ; you press alt+w and it closes the tab and eliminates http://cnn.com/page/ from the history

would you do a standalone addon for €20?

resource intensive for RAM or during the operation?

To be honest, I have not set up any donation system for my addons. Furthermore, I been offered donations for work many times which never materialized (e.g. https://github.com/erosman/support/issues/203#issuecomment-649753614).

Operation... it is slow

Operation... it is slow

As non-coder, I fail to see why that would matter. what time frame are we talking about? 1-5 seconds?

As explained in https://github.com/erosman/support/issues/241#issuecomment-706182404 , :

That depends on CPU and what the tabs are doing but it can halt some tab operations. Such actions will cause red-flags and add-ons that slow down Firefox are sanctioned by Mozilla.
