Abstract: During web browsing, a plurality of web entities associated with browsing activity of a first browsing identity of a first user are received. One or more of the plurality of web entities are selected for sharing. Further, one or more subscriber browsing identities associated with the first browsing identity are selected based on one or more associated trust relationships, and the selected web entities are sent to the selected subscriber browsing identities. The disclosure enhances social interaction and collaborative aspects of web browsing with respect to web browsing activity, enabling users to share browsing activity easily.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for facilitating a user's interaction with digital content in a mixed reality environment. The technique involves: displaying digital content to the user in a mixed reality environment in one or more two-dimensional graphical pages, via a display device of a mixed reality device; receiving input information from one or more environment-sensing devices that capture movement of the user; and detecting, based on the input information, whether the user has performed a telltale gesture directed to a graphical page. Each such telltale gesture includes physical action(s) that a user might perform on a physical object, such as a physical piece of paper. If the gesture-detecting engine detects such a gesture, the technique updates the display device of the mixed reality device to show an appropriate outcome. The telltale gestures include a part-removing gesture, a moving gesture, and a page-flipping gesture, etc.

Abstract: Techniques for automation of browsing mode switching are described. According to various implementations, a web browser is operable in multiple different browsing modes, including a normal browsing mode and a private browsing mode. Techniques described herein enable automatic switching between browsing modes based on different mode triggers, and enable user configuration of various mode change behaviors.

Abstract: A privacy user interface for websites is described. In one or more implementations, website information associated with a website is detected responsive to navigating to the website using a web platform. The website information may include third party entities associated with the website, privacy settings of the website, and/or browser notifications associated with the website. The website information is then displayed in a privacy user interface to enable a user of the web platform to view the website information associated with the website. The privacy user interface further includes one or more privacy controls useable to take specific actions with regards to the third party entities, such as by blocking or preventing the third party entities from tracking navigation to the website or accessing information exchanged with the web site, or by modifying the privacy settings of the web site.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a web platform, e.g., a web browser, which is designed to facilitate user access to websites in a quick and efficient manner. The web platform includes an address bar and, as keystrokes are entered into the address bar, a user interface container is populated with relevant suggestions from a combination of various data sources based on matching character input. Data sources can include a user's browsing history, favorites, and domain suggestions from a remote source, such as a service provider.
