This is really cool! Thanks for making it.

Browser history uses favicons, but I think I would go with tab screenshots. In your browser history, because everything is collapsed into a line, it's harder to parse a logical grouping, so having similar favicons helps. But in Visual History, because the history is tab specific, you don't have that problem. You are more likely to need to differentiate between different pages on the same site, making favicons less useful.

Regardless, this is really cool, and I'll definitely be sharing it.
