Looks like this does the trick:
chrome.history.onVisitRemoved.addListener(...) [
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/history.html]

You could hackishly make this better by setting your own canary history
URL: chrome.history.addUrl('fake-https-switch-planner.domain')

I think this would trigger a new permissions warning in the manifest.js
