## Description

Trail visualizes your browsing history as interactive trees instead of a linear list.

Every time you open a new tab from a link, branch off into a tangent, or explore parallel paths — Trail captures it as a visual tree. See exactly how you got from point A to point Z, with every fork and detour along the way.
