Browser: History Page

[cookiengineer]

The stealth:history page needs to be implemented.

The idea for the Stash and Cache card widget is to offer a search functionality that will display results sorted by domain, and allows to interact with the cache (and stash) data that is stored in the Stealth Profile.

Currently, these things are a bit unclear on what's the best way to implement it. In order to have the same level of functionality per-domain AND per-URL, the metadata and external resources of a URL have to be stored in a database that is updated once a URL is re-downloaded or re-optimized.

So it would make sense to have a server-side service that keeps track of metadata of URLs, including all urls that are related to each other (given it is easy to implement and doesn't blow up complexity).

It might make sense here to differ between Pages and Assets in general. Pages are URLs that the user visited and browsed to specifically, whereas Assets are external resources that are necessary to display the Page, given the Site Mode. This would imply that a change of a Site Mode triggers a refresh call in the Browser UI and leads to the recursive metadata update of a Page.

In order to prevent a recursive update scenario that never ends, it might make sense to limit the dependency chain and set the first-level of the dependency graph to be a Page (aka text mode type) or a directly downloaded Asset (aka other mode type).
