How can I easily delete many items at once from the Chrome history?

I want to remove a large number of specific items from the Chrome history.

I can search for my term, but then I have to click a lot of checkboxes just to remove every item. Is there a way to make this process faster?

Answer

You can also Shift+Click to select multiple items in history and remove them at once.

This works as of Chrome version 33, and possibly earlier versions.

1. Perform a search to bring up the relevant history items


2. Click the first result


3. Shift+Click the last result


4. Click Remove Selected Items
