There is a serious problem with the otherwise brilliant browser cache that pops up when you tap the url bar.

It is supposed to show a useful history of previous links in descending size to represent their usefulness to the user a bit like a tag cloud, however, there is a problem.

Every day i have to manually log-in to the work wifi network, which requires going to the same URL, so in theory it should create one url in the tag cloud, but, it looks like this:

Jedibeeftrix Hotspot Login
Jedibeeftrix Hotspot Login
Jedibeeftrix Hotspot Login
Jedibeeftrix Hotspot Login
Jedibeeftrix Hotspot Login
Google news
Mameo forums
Obviously at this point the tag-cloud has ceased to be a useful feature which replaces the old fashioned browser cache in the URL drop-down, and now become a damned hinderance as there is no easy way to revisit commonly used URL's.

What do I want?

I'd like the tag-cloud behaviour to limit itself to one entry for the same URL, so that even if it is the most important and sits largest and highest on the screen, it cannot crowd out every other entry i might find useful.

Kind regards

JBT

maybe the tag-cloud behaves as such because your url changes everytime you access it?

for example https: //jedibeeftrix. com/index.html?cmd=login&mac=11:22:33:44:55:f1&ip=192. 168.123.123&essid=jedibeeftrix&url=http%3A%2F%2Fww w.google.com%2F where the ip changes.

So in fact the tag-cloud is behaving properly, and you should request for it to limit itself to one entry for the same domain instead, not URL.

you may well be correct, my net-ninja skills are not as l33t as they could be, either way the behaviour of the tag-cloud needs to be changed.
