This is the feature of NetSurf that I most miss in other browsers.  My
browsing style is to open interesting links I encounter throughout the
day into new windows or tabs, and then read them progressively as I get
moments to myself.  Having the history for the parent windows at that
point is of huge benefit.  It also means that the local history graph
remains useful, so you can find out how you got somewhere should you
forget.
