Profiling the user: A ringside view

2010 
We all regularly use the internet for a variety of reasons. We do like some sites and dislike others. There can be various reasons for liking and disliking sites. Some sites interest us, some sites are visited by us often, some are visited periodically, some simple annoy. Our Internet usage is also pretty much the same everyday barring weekends. A average user logs on to the internet at nearly same times everyday, surfs some sites regularly some new sites at times and perform repeated action on sites, more or less. The browser is used as an intermediatery for developing a system which identifies these usage patterns, learns them and then uses it to enhance and personalize our surfing behavior. The system is smart enough to prefetch the right pages at the right time and display them in the browser for the user, all without any manual intervention.
