Whenever you type a new word into Google Translate, it changes the URL and saves it into your history. Sure, fine, whatever, but I am trying to go through my Google History and now it's completely polluted with pages and pages of Google Translate urls. How can I clear this out of my history so going through my history is actually usable?

Things I've tried: Using Better History to search for translate.google.com and then delete them this way. This crashes my browser.

Using normal Chrome history, searching translate.google.com, selecting all with CTRL+A, and then deleting. This does 150 at a time and essentially freezes up my browser each time. I would never actually get through my history this way I can't even get close to clearing a day using this method.

I thought of two ways:

  1. Open this page in Incognito mode
  2. Open this webpage with an additional browser. Looking forward to more answers It's so annoying, especially when I need to look for something from the browser history

Update: Use the History Blocker by Site free Chrome extension to block the logging of specific websites.

You may try this History Blacklist extension.

Open its option page, type translate.google.com and it will work.

This extension uses chrome.history.onVisited.addListener to handle the feature. However, for some reasons, it may not work. If you find it not working, try to turn the extension off and then on again; this should resolve the issue.

About Better History, when you search translate.google.com and click Delete, you just need to be patient and wait (in my case, about 10 minutes) and then all translate.google.com will be removed.
