In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hindsight on Linux Mint Latest, which is a tool that extracts useful information from your Firefox browsing history.
Open the terminal emulator by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or through the application menu.
Run the following command to update your package list:
sudo apt-get update
Install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev
Once the packages are installed, run the following command to install Hindsight:
sudo pip3 install hindsight
Next, run the following command to check if Hindsight is installed properly:
hindsight --version
You should get an output similar to this:
Hindsight version 2.0.0
Finally, run the following command to extract the browsing history data:
hindsight -i /path/to/places.sqlite -o /path/to/output/folder
Replace /path/to/places.sqlite with the path to your Firefox browsing history database and /path/to/output/folder with the path to the folder where you want to save the extracted data.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hindsight on your Linux Mint Latest operating system and extracted your Firefox browsing history. You can now use this data for analysis or any other purposes.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
