  • Patent number: 10664546
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for enhancing a user's browsing experience, especially when the user is browsing third party websites via an application. For example, a user may use the application to browse web pages served from a third party website that is associated with a particular domain. While browsing the third party web pages, the user may save a URL corresponding to a third party web page that the user is currently viewing. In this manner, the user may store one or more URLs corresponding to web pages served from the third party website and/or served from multiple different third party domains browsed by the user. The saved URLs may be associated with the user. When the user browses web pages associated with a particular domain, a user selectable option may be provided that enables the user to see URLs stored for the user that are associated with that particular domain.
