Web Navigation Window: A Graphical Representation of Browsing History
Web Navigation Window is a browser extension available on the Chrome platform. Developed by Victor Charpenay, this free tool falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
The main purpose of Web Navigation Window is to read and analyze browsing history over a specified period. It then presents the data in the form of a navigation graph, where nodes represent visited pages and are aggregated by domain name. The edges of the graph represent link traversals or form submissions from one page to another.
Apart from its practical uses, this extension is also part of a research project on hypermedia systems. The objective of the project is to collect anonymized navigation data and analyze it. This analysis aims to compare human browsing behaviors with those of autonomous Web agents, commonly known as "bots."
Web Navigation Window offers a unique and visually appealing way to explore and understand one's browsing habits. It provides valuable insights into the patterns and connections within the browsing history, making it a useful tool for both research purposes and personal exploration.
