Alltime sorting of history by views

[Tuexss]

After 5 years of Vivaldi, my history is quite large and it slows things down, both in suggestions, but also in managing history. here are some ideas to make things more manageable:

1. Debounce for vivaldi://history full history search - whenever I start typing in that field everything comes to a halt and I have to wait 20 seconds to get things moving again. Instead of triggering the search immediately, it should debounce until nothing has changed for a second in the input field, and only then trigger the search.

2. exclude searches from history - my history is full of past google searches and google map searches and bing image searches and yandex image searches - it's not as if I need them ever again. it would be nice to optionally exclude search engines from history.

3. Alltime sorting by Views - currently you can sort by views, but it gets sorted only for the day. I'd like to see alltime views of an url, no matter what day.

4. maybe exclude apps, like google docs and other google apps, web whatsapp, web spotify, web banking apps, etc.

Hi, I guess these are 4 requests but just for info, the history file contains favicons and preview images of the pages.
This lead to huge files, one user report 1 GB!
The developer work on a solution for this.
By the way you can list by view all your history in the list view.

Cheers, mib

1. This is a bug. Close the sidebar at the side (click the ⓘ symbol), the graph takes a long time to load. I find it works faster when it is hidden.

2. and 4. Vote for this existing request: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24486/history-address-bar-blacklist-forget-about-this-site

3. This is a new feature request, please edit the title of this post to focus on this request, as we prefer to have only one request per topic.

@iAN-CooG but then I lose all history... - i want the ability to timetravel in case I need to retrace my steps for a certain session.

@mib3berlin I thought it funny that data: urls are also in history - so complete images are in the history. I'm not sure if that is intended behavior.

@Tuexss
I am sorry, you are correct.
This was an issue for the bookmark file for 10000+ bookmarks.
I guess 50% are outdated but 10000 URL's should not be a 1 GB file.
