Web-R: a Tool to Record & Replay Personal Web Navigation

This poster presents a useful tool to capture the content of browsing sessions. Web-R saves systematically all the components sufficient and necessary to visualize offline the page, the same way it was displayed online.

We give some insights than, in typical cases, this storage is compatible with today's casual hard disk capacities and costs, along years. Moreover, since the full content of visited pages is stored, the Web-R user can access and process (e.g. sort, extract) several information including path and visit statistics, therefore giving him/her a global view on his/her personal navigation.
