Opera History Viewer

Opera History Viewer is a simplistic piece of software that can reveal visited pages in the Opera web browser as well as the number of visits for each page. It comes packed with a handful of options and gives you the possibility to save the Opera history to file for later inspection and safekeeping.

Following a fast setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you're welcomed by a simple interface made from one window that shows all options put at your disposal. Unfortunately, Opera History Viewer is not capable of detecting the Opera installation in order to automatically retrieve the history data.

Instead, it's necessary to point out to the history file (or just the folder containing the file) yourself. This becomes an issue for users looking for a way to recover the Opera history information with the click of a button. In this case, it's easier to view the past visited pages within the web browser using its integrated settings.

Returning to the program itself, after indicating the correct location to the Opera history file, the tool displays the URL and title, together with the count, date and time of visits for each webpage. If you right-click a selected entry, you can launch it in Opera. Also, selected entries or everything can be removed if you wish you clear browser history. Neatly structured reports can be generated in HTML, XML, TXT or CSV format with all shown info.

Unsurprisingly, Opera History Viewer left a small footprint on system resources consumption. It worked without error in our tests, and we haven't experienced any compatibility issues with the latest Opera or Windows version. Except for the fact that it's necessary to manually specify the location of the Opera history file, the app comes in handy to Opera users.
