Most users don’t clear their browser history as they will always want to find or revisit webpages long forgotten in the chaos of the World Wide Web. For multiple PC users, even with the many cloud-based enhancements of today’s world, browsing history is usually lost if connecting with a single account.

For one reason or another, you may need to export your browsing history. Take for example, if you use a computer in a library or another public location, once you end your session, all browsing data (including the history) will automatically be deleted. which can be extremely frustrating, especially when you have spent hours researching online and you have gone through some web pages whose names you will never be able to remember the not so ‘friendly’ URL unless in some cases where it’s a vanity URL.

Another reason that comes to mind is to create a single document listing browsing information from multiple web browsers. So, if you want to export the browsing history from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Brave, you can do so using the following methods.

Let’s see these methods in detail. The Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave history can be found at the following location in Windows 11/10:

Chrome

Edge

Firefox

Brave

This method applies to Chrome as the browser’s History page is formatted in HTML like any other page so you can actually save it as a file on your computer and then open it in any other web browser. The page will be a bit broken as it no longer contains the exact structure found in Chrome, but it is still very readable.

To save the history page in Chrome, follow these steps:

You can now copy the file to a USB flash drive if you want to access the file on other PCs. To read the HTML file, double-click on it and it will open with your default browser.

The BrowsingHistoryView is a very small utility that supports most modern browsers including Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, and Safari. It allows you to read the browsing history of all supported browsers in a neat interface which you can then sort according to your needs and export to various supported file formats including plain text, CSV, XML, and HTML file types. If you select csv you can export the selection later on into Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application to process it there further.

A drawback of the application is that it does not support portable browsers in the sense that you can load a local history file directly, but if you use multiple web browsers you may need to repeat the process as the data is limited to that single file. To download and use this app, head over to nirsoft.net.

Both Firefox and Chrome have a range of extensions that can help you export your browser history. The seeming limitation to these tools is that they need to be installed in the browser itself, which may not be possible in some public computer environments. Besides that, the fact that they are integrated into the browser means you can access them easily and quickly at times you need them the most. The browser extensions in highlight are the Norwell History Tools for Firefox and Export History for Chrome.

Using the Norwell History Tools, after you add the extension to your browser and click on the prompt to restart Firefox, type or copy/paste the following into Firefox’s address bar and hit Enter:

In Norwell’s advanced history page that opens, can view visited locations along with the time accessed, visit count, and more. The extension also allows you to import history files from Firefox and Chrome. For this, follow these steps:

The history files are well-hidden from the average user so to access them, you can open File Explorer and navigate to the paths mentioned above for the browsers. The places.sqlite file contains Firefox history. On Chrome, Export History is the only extension made specifically for this purpose. With the free version, users are only allowed to export history as a .json file which can be read as a regular webpage after installing the JSONView extension – you may need to go into the Extensions menu and enable the Allow access to file URLs option. For the paid version, you can export it as .csv.

Then you have landed on the right website, and we will give you all the possible knowledge about this in this article.

Vivo Smartphones are one of the major manufacturers of smartphones in the world, but in recent years, the growth has gotten lower every month. However, there could be so many reasons behind this, but most of the youth love Vivo smartphones for their better performance.

The majority of people became concerned after seeing this package file because they had not seen any apps named BBK on their handsets. Because people are unaware that this is related to the launcher, they believe it is malware or spyware.

Now one thing should be noted: here BBK indicates the BBK Electronics Corporation that owns Vivo, Oppo, Oneplus, and Realme. And oppo also has its own launcher with the package name com.oppo.launcher.

Now let’s discuss this in more detail and let you know some important points related to this launcher.

As we discussed above, com.bbk.launcher2 is a package of the Vivo system launcher, which is obviously exclusive to Vivo smartphones. Usually, Vivo comes with a customized version of Android on their smartphones.

No doubt, this launcher is great in so many ways that it totally changes the look of an Android smartphone.

It comes with so many gesture-based navigations, which work well to save time while scrolling. Vivo has worked on its launcher for years and made it smooth and appealing.

As this launcher is exclusive to Vivo phones, it doesn’t come on other smartphones. Different smartphones have different launchers with their own touch, but that small touch definitely impacts the overall experience.

Similar to other launchers, this is also loaded with amazing features like screen recording, one-handed mode, game mode, app clone, smart motion, easy-share, theme store, and many more.

You can access and customize the launcher according to your preferences by going to Settings > Home Screen > Home Screen Style.

This “used.com.bbk.launcher2” simply means that your device is using this file. People often get confused by this “used” file, but there is no need to worry about it.

As we have written articles about these types of package files based on our experience, we ensure that this is nothing but a depiction of the file in use.

Being a launcher on Vivo phones, it definitely has some important access. But there is nothing to be worried about because it’s a system-level app and comes pre-installed by the company.

So here are some of the permissions granted to this app:

and many more permissions like these, but these are the basic permissions of almost every app. So there is nothing to be worried about.

Safety is always a big concern when it comes to encountering an unknown app on our smartphones.

Any system-level app should be built with safety in mind and any app that provides safety and transparently communicates every move with the user is labeled as a safe app in our minds.

Those system-level apps by big tech giants always undergo security certifications from various security organizations. This also means that this launcher app also has proper certifications and is safe to use.

Certifications from state-level security organizations simply mean that this app is totally safe to install. One thing should be followed here: users have to stay updated with the latest versions of that app; only then is the app considered safe.

Being a system-level app, it has been set as the default launcher for smartphones. Usually, companies don’t allow the user to delete the system-level app but only give the option to disable it.

They know that deleting it without having an alternate option could cause a serious breakdown of the operating system

But this doesn’t mean that we can’t apply new launchers to your smartphones. As we apply new third-party launchers, the default one gets temporarily disabled.

So that was all about this article. We hope you liked it and learned a lot from it.

Basically, this is the package for the Vivo system launcher. The Vivo system launcher is an official launcher for some models of Vivo smartphones. It is also clear from this fact that this package file is always seen on Vivo’s phone.

On wrapping up this article, we just want to say that don’t delete the pre-installed system apps without proper knowledge about the app. Because it could be an important system-level app and could cause serious technical issues immediately after removal.

At last, we just want to say thanks for staying with us till the end of the article. We hope that you got your answer from this article. Don’t forget to leave a beautiful comment in the comment section. Thank you!
