You can finally remember what you were searching for that
brought you to this page.
Tab hover shows you the search terms and parent page that lead
you here. Not the same as history, it mainly follows your search
terms entry and shows them when requested.

Didn't we do this already ? |

This idea is so obvious [+] that I doubt that no one ever thought of it. But I don't find it in Firefox or Opera. - The idea is incomplete, though. Don't stop at the parent page but have a whole history list for the current tab, including search terms and link texts which you have followed until you mysteriously again got to this stunning nude beauty who for you might well be the dead end of the internet. |

Brings to mind the caricature from the Unauthorized Microsoft Jokes book with a man on Mars and a mouse pointer with the caption something like: Think how you got here. |

Anyway, it's 2023 and this is still not implemented... |

Yes, great idea, but the name of this browser add-on should be "YouMayAskYourself" |
|
|
[+] Relative to this very page I have some idea but its nothing a bot could track. How far back do you want to go? Prime-mover-page? Last but one? I appreciate [hippos] nod to David Byrne. |

I have a desktop app called HistoryHound that does most of this for my personal browsing, but it cant touch the deeper metaphysical question: how the hell did YOU get here? |
|
|
[a1] Yes please do. That should be interesting. |

In Chrome, regardless of the tab you are on, history (ctrl+h) always gives you the last history of all searches. Not the one leading to this tab. But they did fix the description to clearly show what I was searching for... See link. |
