Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0 Steps to reproduce: Ctrl+Shift+H to open history. Select Views -> Show columns -> Look at options Actual results: All visits to the same URL are clubbed, can't see distribution of visits to a particular URL, only visit count and recent visit. Expected results: Option to club/separate same URLs. Then we can have current features while having a "unique" mode where a visit to an already visited URL would be known, not lossily compressed to the scalar quantity "visit count".
Summary: History column for visit date unique → History must be unique; current system destroys user visit information; add column for visit date
Although I'm somewhat new to this codebase, with guidance I can take up this issue and flash out the feature.
Severity: normal → enhancement

The history view is horrible, we agree that it should be rewritten and it's in the plans for the future, unfortunately at this time we don't have resources to work on it.
