Option for History as a tree

Quoted from Troz on /. :

I would like to see some browser implement the history as a tree. Urls you type in or open from a bookmark or the link bar would appear as the first level of nodes in the tree. Pages you get to by links from other pages would show up as a node under the page that linked to it. This way you would see every page you went to and how you got there.

I think this would be more intuative for the users and more informative as the current history as list views give you no information about how got to a page. If you visited a few hundred pages last week and are trying to find a particular on that was linked from slashdot, using the list approach you would have to search the whole list, but with the tree approach, you would just have to open the slashdot node, and search the nodes below it.

That's one of the best ideas I've heard.

+1. I know people who will not use Opera because it doesn't have the tree view.

I agree. And add to that two things: 1. having *all* visited pages in the history, and 2. not moving an entry up to the top when it is visited again, but listing a new entry instead so that you can see where you've been and in what order.

I'm new here but I use Opera since long ago, and it would really ROCK to have this feature.

SOCKS ALREADY! + Gopher ∥ sys notifications ∥ +Info Panel ∥ dæmon mode ∥ etc

GULIX -- Araucanía

Opera can adapt to the world, but that should not be at the cost of making any of them both stupider

I mean, it's a generally wish, not discussed. But of course should remain the ability of the current ordering ways, too.
