Review Summary
Better History is praised for its effective date-based history viewing and improved search capabilities over Chrome's native tool. Users appreciate its simple, organized interface and functionality. However, after recent updates, some users report loss of the quick history display feature, intermittent missing history entries, and inconvenient shortcut overrides on Mac. Overall, it's a helpful extension with room for improvements regarding stability and user control over shortcuts.

- Simple and effective interface with tightly organized entries and calendar-based navigation.
- Greatly improves Chrome's native history search functionality, which users find lacking.

Cons
- Recent update removed the feature to display history upon clicking the extension button, leading to loss of that functionality.
- Occasional issues with intermittent loss of history data or incomplete history records.
- Overrides the CMD+H shortcut on Mac without allowing customization, causing inconvenience.
