When to keep Export Chrome History
If the existing tool reliably gives you the CSV or JSON file you need, there may be no reason to switch. A short export flow is a useful feature in its own right.
When HistoryOut is a better fit
You need a project’s sources instead of an entire history dump. You want a readable list of links, a chosen set of columns, or a quick way to return to yesterday’s browsing before making a file.
