Is it possible to selectively remove items from Google Chrome browsing history? I have a website from my history that wants to be the default everytime I start a search with a specific letter, but I often reference my history to re-find things.

So I would like to remove all history from, say, www.pythonismyfavoritest.com without removing everything; is that possible?

Try searching www.pythonismyfavoritest.com in the search bar in chrome://history/ and then remove each item by clicking the check box in the left and then hitting the "remove selected items" button.

The chrome history api works with url such chrome://history/#q=hello&p=0
