Hello! I am trying to create an extension that provides a different taxonomy for the history. It would help me a lot to know if it is possible to redefine the side panel of the history.  
Thank you very much in advance.

You can not replace the built in history views at this time. I am not sure if the `history` overrides from [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/chrome\_url\_overrides](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/chrome_url_overrides) are being considered for Firefox.

thanks for the reply.  
I will consider this possibility for Chrome. Although I will choose to create a side panel.
