Refining URL suggestion prioritization for frequently visited search links in Browser (DuckDuckGo reported)

  • /e/ version: 2.5-t
  • **Device model(s):**beyond2lte

Summary

Improve the URL suggestion algorithm in the DuckDuckGo browser to prioritize frequently visited specific URLs (including those with query parameters) over less frequently visited ones while maintaining the capability to show exact URLs.

Description

What is the current behavior?
The suggestion system prioritizes specific URLs with low visit counts over frequently visited ones. This behavior seems to be influenced by domain-level frequency evaluation rather than the frequency of individual URLs.

What is the improved behavior?
The algorithm should prioritize frequently visited URLs, including specific ones with query parameters (?switches), while preserving the ability to suggest exact URLs without defaulting to domain-only suggestions.

What does it bring?

  • Better user experience with accurate and relevant suggestions.
  • Ensures faster access to commonly revisited searches or URLs, improving workflow.
  • Retains the current benefit of suggesting exact URLs with query parameters.
