Analyzing Firefox history ([REDACTED]) segmented into sessions (>30min gap) to find "gateway" content (over-represented as a session's first item) and "comfort anchors" (items revisited across many distinct sessions). Top results were spectacular artifacts: one item showed 20-48x "gateway lift" for its private tags, appearing as the opener of 19-26 of 126 sessions. Cause: a pinned/restored tab re-registers a visit on every browser restart, so it mechanically opens most sessions and appears in dozens of "distinct sessions" without any deliberate return. Site front pages and search/tag pages similarly dominated opener slots (25+ sessions).
