How can I check if a certain link is found in Chrome’s browsing history(on the computer that accesses the link) using JavaScript or jQuery? I am interested (if any) in the functions that I have to use. Also how can I get the date and time of the accessed link?
Retrieving the users history from javascript launched from a web page is impossible due to obvious blatant security issues.
Retrieving the users history from javascript running in an extension is possible, but doing so requires elevated permissions that the user has to grant after being warned. In summary you are probably looking for the
chrome.history.getVisits()function. You can find more information on how to access the history usingchrome.historyhere and the resulting security warnings given to the user here.
