Import Browser History

Knowledge management

Does anyone know of a process by which one can import their Firefox (or Chrome) browsing history into Obsidian?

What I’m trying to do is make it easier to find sites that I know I’ve visited but without having to jump into multiple apps. I use Zotero and Obsidian and have found a good way to make them work together but I’m missing a fairly large chunk of my browsing that would be handy to access without having to expressly clip items into Zotero or Obsidian.

This is a similar request to Internet Usage History.

Unfortunately I don’t know of any readymade solutions. You could consider something like obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-omnivore, but like Zotero it does not get everything, only the stuff you manually save.

A quick and dirty approach would be to first export the history to csv using something like this:

Then a Python script could convert the csv to Markdown. This is easy to develop but implies knowledge of the command line.
