In fact, this is probably the reason I like Tree Style Tab[1] so much. Instead of a simple list, it shows my tabs in the context I opened them from.

I would like to do a custom search of the content of sites that I have visited.
Oftentimes, I'll remember I read something in the past few days, then it's a mad scramble to open various links to try to figure out if it's the right one.
I've often thought about trying to re-implement some of their ideas with a local caching proxy or a browser extension. If there's an open source attempt at this already, I'd love to hear about it.
Other use cases that I have are:
* I want to be able search all content & comments of HN submissions that I have either upvoted or saved.
* Want to search all the content of items saved in Pocket
You create a browser extension that adds the GA pagetag to every site you visit. Have the Client ID isolated by tab, but persist from one domain to another, so every tab is reported as a different "User." Then you can use the Behavior Flow reports to see the next-page/previous-page/next-domain/previous-domain data for everything you viewed!
This of course has the enormous caveat that now all your browser history is setting in a Google Analytics account, instead of just only on the browser. But considered Congress just allowed your ISP to sell that data anyways, maybe that's not such a big drawback anymore?

> The extension is no longer supported however.
Sad. Unfortunately that's all too common...
It's interesting that many businesses (and probably governments) have better access to a user's browsing history than the user.
