Google wants to get rid of URLs but doesn’t know what to use instead

Navigation is the problem.

Maybe go back to lists and hierarchies of lists like the old days. With `UUID` behind it. Lists are at least navigatable.

So every URL would be part of at least one list and `URLs` point to lists. Or something like that.

Example: Sites-I-Use List can be shown in the address-bar instead of the url as green while a site I never used before can be shown as red. That’s not even taking organization into account, or all the other myriad of useful usecases.

So its a bad idea? Well, at least its mine.

Anyway how often have you used URLs list-like?! And how often have you used Google(which offers List by Search)?
