SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you locate visited pages, recall forgotten URLs, and analyze your browsing patterns by querying local history databases from Firefox and Chromium.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search by keyword across history databases (places.sqlite for Firefox and History for Chromium).
  • Time-range analysis and most-visited sites to understand browsing habits.
  • Use Cases: Find a specific article you read last week, locate a GitHub page you visited, or compare time spent on domains over a period.

Quick Start

  1. Ensure you have the sqlite3 CLI installed.
  2. Run the browser-history skill to detect available history databases: ./find-browser.sh
  3. Query the detected History databases using sqlite3, for example: sqlite3 "file:///path/to/history.db?immutable=1" "SELECT title, url, datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS visit_date FROM urls ORDER BY last_visit_time DESC LIMIT 50;"
  4. Review results and identify the pages you need to recall.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search my local browser history to find a specific URL I visited last week?▼

Search local browser history by running a detection script and using sqlite3 to query Firefox moz_places or Chromium History databases with keyword and date-range filters to recall specific visited pages.

Can I analyze browsing patterns across both Firefox and Chromium?▼

Yes, you can analyze browsing patterns across both Firefox and Chromium by querying their respective local history databases. The skill supports both schemas to help you evaluate time spent on domains and identify most-visited sites.

Do I need sqlite3 installed to query my browser history databases?▼

Yes, sqlite3 CLI is required to query browser history databases. The skill executes sqlite3 commands to extract and analyze visited URLs, browsing patterns, and domain statistics from local history stores.

What is the best way to find forgotten URLs from my local browsing history?▼

Query local history databases using sqlite3 with keyword and domain filters to retrieve forgotten URLs. This directly accesses Firefox places.sqlite and Chromium History files to extract titles, URLs, and visit timestamps.

How does querying local history databases compare to using built-in browser search?▼

Querying local history databases with sqlite3 enables complex time-range, domain-based, and keyword queries across Firefox and Chromium stores simultaneously, offering deeper browsing habit analysis than built-in browser search.
