Abstract: Various embodiments provide a frequent sites module which is designed to generate frequent sites for a user that include websites that are relevant to the user based on browsing patterns of the user. In one or more embodiments, the frequent sites are generated from user-engagement data that indicates engagement by the user with websites identified in the user's browsing history. A web platform, e.g., a web browser, can display the frequent sites for the user in a frequent sites user interface container to enable the user to efficiently navigate to the websites that are relevant to the user by selection of websites from the frequent sites user interface container. Various embodiments describe other aspects of frequent sites based on browsing patterns, including multiple-device frequent sites, device-specific frequent sites, domain-specific frequent sites, URL-specific frequent sites, decaying of frequent sites, recent frequent sites, and contextual frequent sites.

Abstract: A user context generator determines one or both of a location of a user and contextual information for the user. The contextual information is indicative of content of interest to the user. A custom content generator engine generates customized translated content for the user. Generating the customized translated content includes selecting, from translated content stored in a database, based on the one or both of the determined location of the user and the determined contextual information for the user, translated content to be presented to the user. The customized translated content includes a set of phrases in a source language and corresponding translations of phrases, in the set of phrases, from the source language to a target language. The selected translated content is displayed to the user, such that the user is provided with translated content of interest to the user.

Abstract: Techniques for extension interaction with applications are described. Generally, an extension represents functionality for extending, modifying, customizing, and/or supplementing native functionality of an application. Techniques discussed herein provide a common extension platform that enables an extension to interact with multiple different applications utilizing components of the platform. The common extension platform, for instance, exposes a set of common extension application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide a common interaction surface between extensions and applications.
