I'm fairly sure this guy has been discussed here before. A year ago or so: https://web.archive.org/web/20150420142850/http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2014/

  Feature request: Along those lines, I was trying to find an article (using algolia) which discussed different names for AWS service names confusion and it was useless for that purpose (given search terms I tried). Since I always clear my browser history I couldn't see the links that I had visited. A nice feature would be if there was a way to note which article links I clicked on or which comment threads I have visited. (If I comment then it's easy to find but I read more than I comment). That way I could just browse back that history and could have easily found that article that I was looking for.

      Thanks for that. But for some reason both that and the save comments seems incomplete. Hard to believe those are all of the stories I upvoted I upvote everything I read typically and upvote (from memory) more comments then "saved comments" indicates. Also "saved" should be "upvoted".

    We don't track what article links users click on. It might be nice data to have if it helped us measure story quality, but it would also cross a privacy line that doesn't feel right to us, either as HN users or community members or moderators. I suppose we could save/serve which comment threads users have visited but that would be a lot of data, so I wonder if it wouldn't just replace one needle-in-haystack problem with another.
