Your browser doesn’t have a history tab?

  History is an unorganized pile of stuff, I wouldn't be able to find things I once had open possibly months ago - if I'm not lucky I can't even remember what page titles to search for. In my tab bar things are organized into groups that I collapse when I'm not actively using. Thus I can easily find those GitHub issues, discussion forum posts, datasheets, or whatever else I was looking at when I last worked on e.g. my brother's keyboard USB conversion, which sadly had to be put on hold due to other life stuff. This could be replicated with bookmarks, but I have no reason to use bookmarks when my tab bar already works the way I want it to.

    TreeStyleTabs in Firefox has a feature to bookmark the whole tree you've built. I find that very useful for a similar workflow as you. And keeping the tree structure is important because it lets me back up a level or two in case there were more resources to explore that I've not.

  While both are belligerently user hostile, History is the only feature set worse than Bookmarks. Safari live updates the displayed history if you reopen a link. Which resets your cursor. Bulk deleting selected entries deletes. each. and. every. single. entry. one. at. a. time. It can take minutes to delete 100s of entries. With a bunch of entries selected, to bulk delete them, it's common to accidentally unintentionally reopen them. There's no way to filter noise entries. Like search results and shopping carts. Using a treetable, with each visited domain as a top level node, would be spiffy. Double extra bonus points for cascading trees mirroring the URL. As God intended. Search is painful. I have similar complaints for Firefox.
