It looked entreating but i still can't come up with a use case; I'm very very rarely browse through my history. I only search for a specific item

Trip planning comes to mind. If you have a bunch of booking sites, along with hotel information open, then you switch contexts to something like airfare booking. It's conceivable you want to eventually come back to the hotels if you haven't finished booking, and getting all X tabs open again would be helpful in that case so you don't have to individually remember all the hotels you were looking at.

  • If only sessions on travel-related websites didn't expire already after half an hour.

    • That's a good point, although some will re-search once the session is expired. It still helps with reference sites (like the hotel's/airline's/cruise's/etc page).

Ever since Opera came out with tabs I've been using huge session files. Back in Opera 5/6 that meant maybe 50-100 tabs. These days my session files are more towards 1000 tabs.

I save my session file with semantic naming every week or so. I would love to have a graphical timeline of all tabs like this to explore older session files as well as my current one.

I search for a specific item in my history all the time, but it can sometimes be difficult to find what I'm looking for via Chrome's itemized list search, especially when the <title> tags are all the same. I think this would help me find it, in relation to my other activity and time.
