Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed herein for unified tracking data management. An example method is performed at a device with a display and one or more input devices, the method including: displaying a user interface with two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options associated with a plurality of websites, the sets including: a first tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data; and a second tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the computing device to limit receipt by all of the plurality of websites of information associated with device. While displaying the user interface, the method includes: receiving a selection of the first tracking-data configuration option; and, in response, causing the computing device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data of at least the first type on the computing device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that collect tracking data items into a plurality of data stores for one or more domain in response to resources received from the domains are described. Each tracking data item may be accessible for one of the domains. Relationships of the domains may be identified among the tracking data items across multiple data stores according to the resources received. One or more of the domains may be selected according to the identified relationships to control accessibility of the tracking data items for the domains. The data stores may be updated to prohibit accessing at least a portion of the tracking data items for the selected domains.

Abstract: A content list panel displays a list of article representations. In response to a selection of an article representation from the content list panel, the content application loads an article associated with the selected article representation in addition to one or more second articles. By preloading the second articles, the user can continuously read through different articles in the main window of the content application without having to select an article representation from the content list panel.

Abstract: A content application includes one or more content list panels. The content application provides mechanisms that allow the user to easily manage article representations included in the content lists such as adding article representations a content list and editing the items directly in menus associated with the content lists.

Abstract: Correct detection of embedded content type enables an operating system to launch the correct program to handle the embedded content. A page retrieval module retrieves an HTML page from a server, the contents of which are parsed by a parsing module. An embedded content analyzer gathers information from the parsed page about content embedded within the web page and proceeds to determine the type of content that is embedded. Content type is determined by analyzing various parameters such as a type specified by the web page, content type provided by an HTTP response, known file extensions present in a URL associated with the content or with the name of the file itself, and by sniffing the file. In one embodiment, the results of each analysis are weighted and a determination is made based upon the weighted total of results.

Abstract: Providing immediate search feedback is disclosed. Search input is received within a search field of a web browser application. Based on characteristics of the search input, a determination is made whether to automatically submit a query to a search engine. In one aspect, the query is automatically submitted to the search engine. The query is based on the received first search input. Results are displayed within the web browser application, the results web page returned from the query submitted to the search engine.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods for improving security when accessing applications and other executable programs. In one exemplary method, a user is warned if an application that has never been previously run is being launched by the user. Other methods, as well as data processing systems and machine readable media, are also described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing an interpreter that is operable to recognize whether text displayed on a display device belongs to a pre-defined type of text, and to present the user with an option for performing a context sensitive operation when an interpreter recognizes the input text as belonging to the pre-defined type of text. The input text is generated based on a user selecting text, a portion of text, an object, or a portion of an object displayed on a display device that is part of a computer system. Alternatively, an interpreter automatically recognizes when displayed text belongs to a pre-defined type of text. A wide variety of interpreters may be included, wherein each interpreter has at least one corresponding pre-defined type of text and at least one corresponding context sensitive operation.
