I see several scenarios where the general purpose
tool of multiple browsers
can be improved.
Ah, but the question is by whom? With what resources? and at what cost?
The pool of "good" smalltalk developers is small. And the resources for projects have to come from somewhere. I can joyfully self fund projects that please my curiosity. Others have their own criteria.
The multiple browsers that exist now are sufficient to the purpose of satisfying my curiosity and developing code. Or finding and fixing bugs. The screen sometimes gets cluttered. And that is an annoyance. But it is not a sufficient annoyance to delve into a repair project. At least from my point of view.
The other part of the question is what do YOU want to do about this?
Are you willing to write a more detailed user story? Delve into browser code and learn enough to create your own tool? Hire someone in the good smalltalk programmer pool to create the tool for you? (Tim's efforts only costs a few billion euros).
Or search around for solutions already coded. Tweak has a browser with one extra level of abstraction. so when ever you do a new search instead of a new browser you get a new entry in the top list. You can go to that list and switch between "browser lists". So you would need to find someone to port that to the current squeak.
I say this to encourage you. I love your questions and discussions on the list. I just wish to point out that in a moneyless economy other's resources and your personal contributions need to be considered and balanced.
As long as the browsing tools are adequate, I can't see where the resources to improve them will come from.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jeorme Peace
