TrailBlazer - The browser history file rethought
Authored by: JimRoepcke on Apr 01, '04 11:32:19PM

The polished UI with thumbnails certainly is innovative, as is the integration with indexing and real-time search results (not that it was the first to do that, but maybe the first to do both together), but it's not the first browser to do a tree-oriented / browser-path history feature.

IBM's WebExplorer browser for OS/2 Warp 3.0 in 1994 had a tree/outliner-oriented history. I've missed it for nearly 8 or 9 years that I've been separated from WebExplorer. Nice to see the feature finally come back, but I'd happily live with a simple text-link / outliner type of history than the huge thumnail variety.

Jim
