THE ONLY BROWSER HISTORY YOU WILL EVER WANT TO KEEP

cottonTracks is an automated and curated record of the best content you experience on your web browser. It replaces your history and bookmarks while maintaining a stunning summary of your insights and influences. Navigate as usual and we take care of organizing your favorite content seamlessly.

AN INTELLIGENT RECORD OF YOUR INTERESTS

Our algorithms create collections of interesting articles, videos, images and maps based on how deeply you investigate a particular subject. Search and browse a few pages around the same idea and the app will remember and organize the information automatically.

STOP BOOKMARKING

We believe in an unobtrusive and smart way of defining your own web. The time of searching in an undifferentiated mass of information and collecting references by hand is over. Want to go back to some information previously seen about the topic of a video you are currently playing? Click the C button and access the most relevant stories you have encountered in the past weeks, months or years around this very subject.

SMART QUOTES

Want to remember a specific joke or an impressive number in an article? Highlight it and we will remember it as a quote.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Strangely, this plugin seems to have a conflict with the site turbowarp.org. If I turn cottontracks off, the site works, but if i turn it on, that site bombs. It may be more general than that, but that is my observation. I am also contacting them about this.

Enhances Chrome History by auto-categorizing the sites you have been viewing lately. Can select Favorites, too, but wish I could also classify by user-created groups as well. Still, this is GREAT Chrome Extension! Thanks, CottonTracks.
