Wiped the entire browser history. Good thing I had it saved. If only there was a warning this would happen, this would be a 4 star review.

This is a very creative way and very helpful for scattered mind! However, I hope you can improve it by making it easier to navigate the history tree(zoom, drag, hotkey etc), and make it possible to go to the tab(instead of opening a new tab)when you click on that tab in the history tree.Also, it would be nice to show current tabs with a different color than the closed tabs, so I have a visual grasp of how many tabs I have now open. Thanks very much!
