Abstract

This project presents a Firefox extension that uses a model of the users’ browsing history to predict where they are likely to browse based on their current web page. Users can choose to exclude web sites from their results and to preview the results as images of the websites. The model is stored on a server to allow for use from different locations, and URLs are encrypted to preserve privacy.
