[Suggestion] Rank Omnibar history by most visited

Thank you for the fantastic Vimium plugin!

One issue I've noticed is that the Omnibar search results can become cluttered, making it harder to quickly access frequently visited URLs. I suggest improving the ranking algorithm to prioritize results based on how often a user visits a specific URL.

For example, I frequently use the Omnibar to navigate to a subreddit by typing O followed by r/toronto, expecting https://old.reddit.com/r/toronto to appear at the top since I visit it often. However, if I recently performed a Google search for r/toronto, the Google search result outranks the subreddit URL, which disrupts my workflow.

Proposed Solution

Rank Omnibar search results by prioritizing URLs based on the user's visit frequency, with more frequently visited URLs appearing higher in the list. This would make the Omnibar more intuitive and efficient for accessing commonly visited sites.
