Other than what others already said, you could try either an AOP
solution like Aquarium or Gazer (both seem unmaintained) or RCapture
(my personal favourite), which seems to be alive.

I should like to find the person who decided that since
=E2=80=98bookmarks=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98history=E2=80=99 were both lists o=
f URLs they
ought to be integrated in a single database. I should like
to shake him warmly by the throat until his head comes off.
