Ok, this is one of those ideas that is clearly dumb but still just might work... you could hack a personal history report out of Google Analytics.
You create a browser extension that adds the GA pagetag to every site you visit. Have the Client ID isolated by tab, but persist from one domain to another, so every tab is reported as a different "User." Then you can use the Behavior Flow reports to see the next-page/previous-page/next-domain/previous-domain data for everything you viewed!
This of course has the enormous caveat that now all your browser history is setting in a Google Analytics account, instead of just only on the browser. But considered Congress just allowed your ISP to sell that data anyways, maybe that's not such a big drawback anymore?

The extension is no longer supported however. http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/14/firefoxs-interest-dashboard-provides-you-with-internet-interest-information/ http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/14/firefoxs-interest-dashboard...
- cvwright 10y agoThis is very neat. Thank you! > The extension is no longer supported however. Sad. Unfortunately that's all too common...
