Configuration Options

Time Period Selection (X Days)

Choose how far back in your browsing history to analyze:

• Select the number of days to include in the analysis
• Common options might include 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days
• Longer periods provide more comprehensive data but may include less relevant sites

Website Quantity (Y URLs)

Specify how many top websites to display:

• Set the maximum number of URLs to show in the results
• Typically ranges from 10 to 50 most visited sites
• Higher numbers give more options but may include less frequently used sites

How It Works

Analysis Process:

1. The program analyzes your browsing history for the specified time period (X days)
2. Calculates visit frequency and ranking for each unique website
3. Generates a list of the top Y most visited URLs
4. Presents the results for easy selection and addition to Quick Access

Smart Filtering:

• Automatically excludes duplicate URLs from the same domain
• Focuses on primary pages rather than sub-pages
• Prioritizes sites with consistent visit patterns
