A minimal Chrome extension that shows a tooltip when you hover over a link, indicating when you last visited that link.
- Simple tooltip: On hovering any link, a small black tooltip appears near the cursor if you have visited the link before or if it's bookmarked.
- Visit time: The tooltip displays how long ago you last visited the link (e.g., "Visited 2 hours, 5 mins ago").
- Bookmark indicator: Links that are saved in your bookmarks show a ★ symbol in the tooltip.
- Domain exclusions: Configure domains where the tooltip should not appear through the options page. The list of configured domains syncs to your Google account when available.
- Privacy-friendly: All history and bookmark checks are local.
- Chrome extension: Manifest V3 extension.
- Enable/disable: Click the extension icon to disable or enable the tooltip feature. When disabled, the icon shows an 'OFF' badge.

- For bookmarked links that haven't been visited, the tooltip shows "★ Bookmarked".
- For links that are both bookmarked and visited, the tooltip shows "★ Visited X ago".
- If you have not visited the link and it's not bookmarked, no tooltip is shown.
