WikiMapper: Track & Graph Your Wikipedia Adventures

'WikiMapper' is a passive, lightweight Chrome extension specifically designed for Wikipedia enthusiasts. It silently records your Wikipedia and Wiktionary browsing sessions, creating a historical data tree out of it. This allows you to revisit your reading paths, tracing back to how you ended up at certain topics. It is a free and open-source software, with strong user privacy and does not serve ads. 'WikiMapper' unloads itself from memory when idle, ensuring efficient performance. It is updated regularly to meet Chrome's latest guidelines.

I like this, but as already said, it would be cool if it checked to see if the page you are pulling up is already on the wikimap and go from there instead of creating a new route or starting a new map. Export to Xmind would be good too.
