Edit: Just noticed the missing word in the title. Sadly too late. Editing it is only possible for the first five minutes after post. ---- Internet browsers tend to delete older history, making it hard to find sites seen a long time ago without knowing their name or title. For Chromium-based desktop browsers, Google has randomly deleted files with [Chrome 30](http://archive.today/2015.06.19-181959/http://www.obsidianforensics.com/blog/history-index-files-removed-from-chrome/) and [Chrome 37](http://archive.today/2016.10.08-115448/http://www.obsidianforensics.com/blog/archived-history-files-removed-from-chrome-v37) without warning. And Firefox tends to randomly delete history and downloads older than ~3 months. For Chrome, there is an add-on, *History Trends Unlimited*, whuch allows exporting the history file. For Firefox, there once was *Norwell History Tools*, but then Firefox Quantum came and rendered most add-ons ever released ineffective. The Firefox history is stored in `places.sqlite`. Better back up that file regularly. (I [fucking](#spoiler) hope that the MozLZ4 cancer will not take over that one as well, like it did with session store files.) If I forgot to mention any point, please comment it.
