Treelike history of working with Safari

30th September 2008

The company Apple has patented a new development, which makes work of with the popular browser of Safari even more comfortable.
The developer proposes to display the history of work with the browser in the form of a visible treelike scheme, the nodes of which are visited pages. The entire list, in its turn, is bound to the timeline, which allows at a glance to determine the exact visit time. The root node of the tree is a page a user visited “manually”, typing the correct address in the address bar of Safari. The daughter nodes are those sites the user went to from the main site. When you open a new window or a tab, a new branch grows out of the tree.
The updated interface will also provide an opportunity of scaling the tree, a very useful option for users visiting a large number of sites within a single session. Special compression algorithms will allow reducing the number of displayed sites by concealing minor branches.
