ShadowLog gives you fine-grained, automated control over which browsing traces to erase — like private browsing, but only for the sites you choose. How it works: Create rules with regex URL patterns. When you visit a matching URL, ShadowLog can automatically delete the history entry, cookies, cache, and/or site data based on your configuration. Key features: - Regex-based URL matching with optional exclude patterns for precise targeting - Per-rule actions: choose independently whether to delete history, cookies, cache, or site data - Multiple timing modes: delete immediately on visit, on tab close, on browser close, or on a periodic schedule - Built-in retry buffer: failed deletions are persisted and retried automatically on next startup - Safety controls: configurable rate limits and per-origin cooldowns to prevent excessive API calls - URL test tool: paste a URL in the options page to preview which rules match and what actions would be taken - Import/export rules as JSON for backup or sharing - Popup for quick access: pause/resume, forget current tab with one click, view recent deletion activity Privacy: ShadowLog does not collect, transmit, or share any user data. All rules and settings are stored locally using the browser's extension storage API. Permissions explained: - history — delete matching history entries - browsingData — clear cookies, cache, and site data by hostname - webNavigation — detect page visits for immediate deletion - tabs — detect tab close events - storage — persist rules, retry buffer, and settings locally - alarms — schedule periodic cleanup sweeps
