I agree that the current implementation is a bit naïve: top sites are the first ten sites ordered by decreasing number of visits.
There is also the problem with not being able to undo the removal of a top site (there’s no UI for that). Adding an ubuntu-ux task, as we need design input here. ** Also affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513918 Title: Improve the algorithm for top sites Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: It seems that we show pages that have been visited even once up to a total of 10. I noticed when removing some pages from top sites that an unlimited supply kept the total at 10, but many of these were pages I visited once and would never use again. It does seem on first use you would want to show some number of pages even if they are only viewed once, but once the user establishes which pages they view multiple times those should allow us to ignore single visits. Firefox doesn't start to show "tiles" for most visited sites for 30 days acc to https://blog.mozilla.org/advancingcontent/2014/02/13/more-details-on- directory-tiles/ I was removing sites that did not have thumbnails , unfortunately I thin this means they will ever again show up in the top sites. Not sure if permanent removal is what is desired, I can see it either way.
