  • Web Context Improvements

    When navigating the web, the address of pages you visit are displayed in the Tasktop Navigator. This all but eliminates the need to bookmark, and makes revisiting web pages a snap. Unfortunately, web context is susceptible to pollution from some dynamic web sites and search engines. For example, when navigating through web search results, a number of extraneous pages are revealed. Improvements have been made to web context, reducing the chance of pollution. In the above scenario (browsing search results), only the last page visited will now be displayed in the Navigator. These improvements also minimize any negative effects of dynamic web pages that load numerous URLs in order to function correctly.
