The Firefox web browser stores a history of visited websites in a database. These information can then be accessed at a later time and are also linked with several other mechanisms of the web browser including the address bar. The history function is on the other hand not the most comfortable solution especially when trying to find a website that was accessed at a specific time or from a specific starting location.
Voyage is a Firefox add-on that can visualize the surfing history of the user. It starts to record the visited websites and their relation right after installation and can be accessed at anytime by entering about:voyage into the Firefox address bar. The same screen is also accessible from the History > Voyage menu.
Voyage displays each visited website in a circle that displays the website’s favicon in the center. The circle size changes depending on the number of visits to a website so that the most popular destinations can be recognized on first glance.
Hovering the mouse over a circle will display the relations to other circles by drawing lines to them. It will furthermore display a maximum of three page titles of pages that have been visited on the domain and the total amount of pages that have been accessed.
A left-click on a circle will open the full list of pages that have been accessed on the domain. Information displayed include the page title, time the resource was accessed and the from and to relations to other circles.
Another interesting option is the Twitter integration of Voyage which allows Twitter users to integrate the last 90 days of Twitter to a maximum of 500 tweets in the timeline.
Voyage is an interesting Firefox add-on that can be useful for users who would like to work with a visual representation of their surfing history. The add-on is compatible with all Firefox 3.5+ versions and can be downloaded directly from the Mozilla Add-on repository.
