An alternate browser history.
The Web Palimpsest Extension
The Web Palimpsest is a brand new take on your browsing history. On every new page you visit, the Palimpsest will pull a random piece of text or image. Your new tab page is transformed into a constantly updating collage of your browser history, presented either as an abstract layered collage or as a grid. Develop your Palimpsest by exploring the web, and create a unique stamp of how you engage with the internet! Stylize your Palimpsest in the settings page and use the live links as portals back to your history!
