SterJo Chrome History Review — Features, Pros & Cons

How to Use SterJo Chrome History to Restore Your Chrome Activity

Warning: SterJo tools are third-party utilities. Use them cautiously and only download from the official site. Running recovery tools can risk overwriting data or triggering antivirus alerts.

What SterJo Chrome History does

• Purpose: Scans your system for Chrome history artifacts and recovers visited URLs, timestamps, and related records that may have been deleted or partially lost.
• Limitations: Recovery depends on whether data was overwritten, Chrome profile deletion method, and system activity since deletion. Not guaranteed.

Before you start

1. Stop using the affected computer as much as possible to avoid overwriting recoverable data.
2. Download from the official SterJo page to reduce malware risk.
3. Back up current Chrome profile (if present): copy the User Data folder (Windows default: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data).

Step-by-step restore procedure

1. Download and install SterJo Chrome History from the official site.
2. Close Chrome and any browser processes (check Task Manager).
3. Launch SterJo Chrome History with administrator privileges (right-click → Run as administrator).
4. Choose the drive or folder to scan (select the drive where your Chrome profile was stored).
5. Start the scan and wait for results — the tool will list recoverable history entries.
6. Review found entries and select those you want to restore.
7. Export recovered items (the app typically offers export to CSV or HTML) or follow the tool’s option to restore into a file.
8. If you want recovered history back in Chrome: import the exported file using a compatible extension or tool (Chrome doesn’t natively import history), or replace a backed-up History file in the Chrome profile with a recovered History database file — only do this if you know how and after backing up the current profile.

After recovery

• Reopen Chrome and verify browsing history (or import the exported file).
• Keep a copy of exported results for records.

Troubleshooting

• If scan finds nothing, data was likely overwritten or stored only in synced cloud account.
• If Chrome becomes unstable after replacing profile files, restore your backup and retry with smaller steps.
• Antivirus flags: temporarily allow or whitelist the tool only if downloaded from the official site.

Alternatives

• Check Google My Activity if Chrome sync was enabled.
• Use general file-recovery tools (Recuva, PhotoRec) to search for Chrome History files.
• Restore from system restore points or backups.

Safety reminders

• Avoid unknown third-party downloads.
• Keep a backup of your Chrome profile before making changes.
