The permissions required are kind of an issue. Yes you can turn off the feature to search your browser history but access to your browser history is a "required permission" and you can't disable the permission.

If they moved this to the "optional permissions" and had it disabled by default then I would consider using it but that's a deal breaker on principle alone. Nefarious data collection is a serious issue these days. This kind of thing needs to be more transparent and more optional.

I finally found the app that caused a few pages not to load correctly. I never would have suspected Plasma Integration to be the culprit, but it turns I was wrong.
Try disabling it if you experience problems with webpages that load correctly in other browsers or private windows.
Otherwise it would actually be quite useful.

permission to access browser history? no.

I get it that the new feature to search browser history can be turned off in the preferences, but that also means that the "access browser history" permission is not actually required and should be optional just like it was previously! I do not want that permission granted, ever!

People complaining about the new requested permissions to read the browser history:

There is a new feature that allows *you* (not KDE) to search *your* browser history with *your* desktop search (e.g. KRunner or similar).

Either way, this feature can be easily switched off within the extension's options menu.

I mean, c'mon, why would a non-profit run by volunteers and with no commercial interest in anything be interested in what you visit? Let's be serious.

Why ask for access to my browser tab history? I was about to add 5* and then this pop-up...

Please rescind this permission, I am deactivating it till this is fixed!

Suddenly it wanted to read the whole history.
No.

Leaving 1 star review until the need for 'access browsing history' permission is rolled back. I didn't ask for any features requiring that extremely invasive permission.

Started good, now, devs are power tripping.

This extension have absolutely no reason to ask for history, as it does on the 2025q4 update. This should be so that the browser control notification/multimedia. integration with the lame and useless "navigate to the web via the start button application search" that nobody liked in windows 11... i can't even reason properly to argument how dumb it is to copy the most hated feature from windows. sigh. Just roll that back and quit power tripping with lame features. Do another extension instead of screwing up the good, already accepted ones with anti-features nobody asked for.

Also, this is indeed becoming so anti-user it doesn't even link to the source anymore from here.

04/11/2025 : Needs an update to deal with various distribution-native plasma-browser-integration package's paths...

Another banger by the KDE team <3

Works perfectly

Great addon, works well with my KDE Plasma desktop.
