This study explores the integration of back navigation, bookmarks, and browsing history to enhance web browsing efficiency. Research shows high percentages of revisited pages and why users often avoid traditional bookmarks. Various models and techniques for managing bookmark collections are discussed, including dynamic query and thumbnail images. The goal is to create an integrated system that simplifies revisiting web content and improves user experience.
