  • Patent number: 10498582
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for displaying related content associated with browsing a website. For example, a user may access a website to view content provided by the website. As opposed to the user manually searching for interesting content through trial and error, related content that may be interesting to the user may be identified and surfaced to the user. For example, a user profile specifying user interests of the user may be used to identify related content assigned topics corresponding to the user interests (e.g., content provided by the website or other web source). In this way, the related content may be displayed to the user through a content recommendation reader interface. In an example, the content recommendation reader interface may be provided by a web browser so that related content may be identified and/or provided to users of any website from any device.
