  • Patent number: 10599868
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a privacy mechanism to protect user data when transmitting the data to a server that estimates a frequency of such data amongst a set of client devices. One embodiment uses a differential privacy mechanism to enhance a user experience by identifying particular websites that exhibit particular characteristics. In one embodiment, websites that are associated with a high resource consumption are identified. High resource consumption can be identified based on threshold of particular resources such as processor, memory, network bandwidth, and power usage.

  • Patent number: 10440140
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for storing and managing a number of resources and sub-resources associated with web pages in a cache implemented by a web browser. Metadata associated with the sub-resources is captured and stored in the cache. The metadata can include relationship or dependency information associated with a main resource and the sub-resources associated with the main resource. The previously captured metadata is used to predict any sub-resources that will be needed to properly display the web page and the predicted sub-resources are requested from the web server concurrently with a request for the main resource associated with the web page.
