It enhances the abilities to re-find already visited websites based on your local history. == Goals == WebReview addresses several problems that might occur when trying to find websites that where already visited before: WebReview offers you a procative interface called '''[WebReview/Features/MyStart WebReview MyStart]''' that shows web pages that are important for you, based on the browsing history of Firefox. There is no need to manually set bookmarks on pages you visit regularly. After some learning time, WebReview will automatically recommend them at the appropriate time to you. The history of Firefox for finding web pages you visited are very limited, especially if they very some days ago. For example, in the history sidebar, all pages older than 6 days are grouped together in one folder, making it rather difficult to find the right one in a list of hundrets or even thousands.[[BR]] WebReview offers a table based view on your history, called '''[WebReview/Features/Chronicle WebReview Chronicle]''' with several search- and sort-criteria making it easier to find the page you look for, even if you visited it a long time ago. A problem that can happen quite often result from the way the browser-buttons "Back" and "Forward" work. If you go backwarts and then click on another link, it's impossible to reach the page where you clicked the "Back" button, through clicking the two buttons only. One branch of you browsing session is lost.[[BR]] '''[WebReview/Features/Graph WebReview Graph]''' cannot only display the complete ''tree'' you browsed currently, but visualizes also '''all''' browsing sessions with every visited web page in your history in a graph. You can find out, how you found are very interesting page even if it was months before (if your history of Firefox goes back that far). You can even export a whole graph to a single file for example for archiving or sharing purposes. == About the project == WebReview was developed by Andreas Wagner as part of a diploma thesis between 11/01/2008 and 04/30/2009.
