Abstract
Most Web browsers include Back, History and Bookmark facilities that
simplify how people return to previously seen pages. While useful, these
three facilities all operate on quite different underlying models, which
undermines their usability. Our alternative revisitation system uses a single
model of a recency-ordered history list to integrate Back, History and
Bookmarks. Enhancements include: Back as a way to step through this list;
implicit and explicit 'dog-ears' to mark pages on the list (replacing
Bookmarks); searching/filtering the list through dynamic queries; and visual
thumbnails to promote page recognition.
