The deprived screen display of mobile devices made it difficult to present a large amount of data. Keeping track of the text-based history list is even more challenging as users need to spend a lot of effort to locate a previously visited page. This paper proposed Visual History mechanism with a user-marking mechanism to assist users in navigating through the history list. The Visual History mechanism loads screen capture of the webpages and appends it as a thumbnail for the corresponding history list entry. The visual cues are deemed to be able to assist users in recalling the contents of the visited webpage. The user-marking mechanism allows users to denote a useful webpage for future references. A filter is applied to view only marked pages to speed up the searching process and time. Research results of the user evaluation demonstrated that there was a statistical significant difference between text-based and visually enhanced history mechanisms. Overall, there were 95.45% of the test subjects preferred the Visual History mechanism as compared to Opera Mini, a text-based history mechanism. Conclusively, the visually enhanced Visual History mechanism significantly augments users' performance and satisfaction when browsing mobile Internet portals.
