Promnesia preferences

Don't forget to save settings after changing

Note: you can quickly toggle some of these settings via the context menu on any page (typically need to reload the page to see the effect).

Troubleshoot

See troubleshooting guide/help

If you messed up any extension settings, you can check src/options.js. Alternatively, use 'reset settings' button in the bottom of the page.

Make sure to regularly export/backup settings (after saving first): (there is no import yet, will be added later)

Sources

Backend settings Don't forget to setup & run the backend first.
However, you can leave it empty if you want to use in-browser visits only.

In-browser sources Note that these sources aren't typically as useful as the backend ones, and support for them is still limited (see issues/120)

Browser bookmarks

Enable

Browser history

Enable

History results limit (controls this parameter). Set it to lower value if you suspect browser history search is causing slowdowns for you (pretty unlikely though)

Sidebar

	Detect and linkify URLs in the sidebar
	Always show sidebar (experimental)

'Mark visited' feature

Mark visited links on page load (experimental, but highly recommended to try)

Exclude links from being marked as visited:

Other behaviour

	Highlight contexts/annotations
	Popup notification when link has contexts (may be spammy)
	Verbose errors (for debugging, may result in notification spam)

Global excludes

Global excluding might be useful for several purposes:
- less distraction: if you don't want to be notified of specific pages (e.g. they are too broad, like "google.com")
- privacy: to avoid passing sensitive information to the extension (e.g. from your bank website)
- performance: if you experience problems with certain pages
NOTE: you can also exclude links from the context menu.

Globally excluded links and domains:

Supported formats: - domain.name, e.g.: web.telegram.org Will exclude whole Telegram website. - http://exact/match, e.g.: http://github.com Will only exclude Github main page. Subpages will still work. - /regul.r.*expression/, e.g.: /github.*/yourusername/ Quick way to exclude your own Github repostitories.

External exclude lists:

In addition to specific excludes above, you can specify links to external filter lists. They will be autoupdated every 3 days. Spec format (Json):

[
    ["name (arbitrary)", "link"],
    ["name2"           , "link 2", "optional comment"]
]

Style settings (CSS)

Not very documented at the moment; you can use your browser devtools to experiment

Deprecated/misc settings

Source map (json):

Can be used to rename the sources
