History Open is a totally useless and questionable Google Chrome browser extension that caught our attention. As a matter of fact, we have labeled this tool as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because of the suspicious traits it showed while we were testing and researching it. This PUP is supposed to make you capable to “easily access and control your browsing history” but this is nothing beneficial to you if you consider that you can just as well use the built-in history function of your browser, not to mention the fact that this tool only works in Chrome. ...
