Eyebrowse - Transparent Web Browsing

Cohort

2012–2013

Supervisor

David R. Karger

Abstract

Eyebrowse seeks to explore the potential for letting users automatically track and selectively publish their web browsing activities in real time on the Web. There are three goals of the Eyebrowse project. The first goal is to allow users to better understand how they spend time on the web through visualizations and statistics. Secondly, Eyebrowse seeks to foster social discovery and awareness through real-time web activity sharing. The final goal is to build a large network of web browsing trails through the data collected. Eyebrowse will exist as a browser extension to accomplish these goals and allow transparent web browsing.
