general  Google, We Need More Control on Managing Browsing History !

Dear Google, you are concentrating too much on “Search” based functionalities on all your products,  and most of them are awesome !but  here is something you forgot while working on “Search” on Chrome.

If you go to “History” page for your Chrome browser, there only two ways to browse history, the “newer” and “older” links, taking us to the next and previous pages, and then the search option for history. But, what if we want to to go history of a specific date ?

What if I want to limit the number of days of history saved on my browser ? There is no option to manage this too ! If you browse through the Google Chrome Help Forum, there are many people asking this question !  Don’t you think its a good option that we are missing here ?

So, Dear Google, Please give us more control over the browsing history !

Recently, I got another sign of it, when I found ” Translation Bar” in the latest dev build that I am using ( yep,  I am using the developer version, to bring you the latest to you chrome news  Google Chrome To Add Translation Bar   Built in Translation ).  When you open a website, in a language other than your default language, the translation bar will popup on the top, suggesting you to view the translated version of the page.
