The list is very useful. It allows me to revisit a URI for which I don't have a link; instead, I originally typed in the URI. The fewer times I have to type a URI, the fewer typos I make. If you want to see a history of URIs you recently visited -- both by selecting links and also by typing in URIs -- either go to your menu bar and select [Go > History] or else use Ctrl-H. My History window is sorted chronologically, but other sorts are possible. -- David E.
