YES! I've been looking for something like this for ages for stuff I have read on Hacker News.
Not ideal, several flaws, but works well enough for me so far.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And would it be possible to configure it to use my own "cloud"?
Definitely something we are looking into. Major barrier is the cost for someone keeping a server running 24*7 in cloud(Micro instance on AWS is 175 dollars a year).
Obvious point to raise: the reason people regularly delete their browser history is because they watch porn without turning on private browsing. How do you propose to deal with this? You'd need to provide at least the ability to selectively delete portions of the history. But you can selectively delete portions of your browser history too, and people don't - because it would be too easy to miss something. Instead, th…
Vinny Glennon, One of the founders here. Thanks very much for the up votes. The Chrome extension does not work in private browsing. I have a set of porn sites(1.7 million stored in redis) that I check if incoming links are a member of. You can selectively block sites ( https://www.seenbefore.com/blacklist_items ).
I was under the impression that redis wouldn't be all that useful to store a lot of data. Would be great if something as quick as redis could work with large data sets.

I take advantage of my browsers history with porn. When I was in college the first bash script I wrote was to open a movie in my porn collection that I hadn't watched in the longest time. This was great. But now with streaming porn sites I don't have a huge collection and I often watch scenes that I can't seem to find later. There is a lot of porn out there. Sure people clear their browser history because their embar…
"40% of searches online are people simply looking for what they have already seen before." - How did they calculate this statistic?
