In my opinion, the biggest benefit here is with bookmarks rather than history. It's a shift away from directories and hierarchies to tagging and search. A feature that may not be terribly obvious is that clicking the star on the right side of the address bar will bookmark the current page. By default, it doesn't ask you any questions about what to call it or where to put it, it just silently goes into a place called "unfiled bookmarks." Then when you want to visit the page again, instead of worrying about where you put the bookmark or exactly what the page was called, you just need to remember a few letters of the name, URL, or your tags. Surely, this is due in large part to Aza Raskin's presence at Mozilla, as it fits quite nicely with the principles of his father's book. I certainly don't agree with everything in The Humane Interface, but I definitely think this new bookmarking system is a step in the right direction. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
