Abstract
In this paper, we described an innovative web history visualization and tagging tool – Trails, which is designed and developed to help people understand their browsing history and habits better. We gathered users’ impressions of using Trails, including comparison with traditional web history views, perceived usefulness, privacy concerns, and suggestions to improve the system.
