browser-history

A tool to keep a global browser history

/Main/Other/src/X11/Utilities/

Browser-history came from the will to overcome a Netscape bug: there is no global history, and if you close a window, its whole history is lost. For people browsing lots of sites, having a possibility to track back where one has been before means that you dont have to put everything in your bookmarks file. If you are not sure if a site may be worth remebering, don't add it in your bookmarks. If you need it later, just browse you history files.

Later, it came to our minds that this also could be a valuable add-on to people writing experimental browsers, so they dont have to add this functionality to their browser itself.

Browser-history is a small and efficient daemon. Real user services could be built on top of the log files it maintains for more possibilities (graphical representation, advanced search options, collective histories). It can be seen as a quick-and-dirty hack wrt to the general solution of using a personal proxy to provide this history and housekeeping facilities. But in the meantime, it is easy to use and it works.
