Check this out:

Is this history feature actually a good idea. I never use the history panel in any of my current browsers. Maybe it is because they all suck? Would you use this feature if it was implemented in Safari/Opera/Mozilla?

And by the way, did these guys make their own browser engine or do they use the "Safari engine"(I lack a better word)?

I really _love_ the way they implemented it. I hope Apple gets "inspired" by this. :-)

And yes, they do use the Webcore. Even Safari's cookies are used.

This is definitely interesting. I watched the demo, and it looks pretty cool. Would I use it? I don't know. I hardly use the History in any browser. But I can see how this would be very useful for those that use History frequently.

you know the graphical representation is pretty, but I don't think it can show enough information at a time to be useful. (When I *do* use history - it's not for something I went to recently - more like weeks ago, and all I remember is a keyword or two)

OW's ability to search history by keyword, etc. (ala iTunes) covers most of the benefits of this thing, without being limited by the graphical representation of history.

It is very cool. I'm trying to download the source code they offer, but their instructions aren't working. Has anyone been able to download it?
