Abstract
Browsing history is an eminent tool for internet users to keep track of the daily and specially visited webpages without bookmarking them. Traditional history tools have become insufficient to satisfy their purpose of addressing complex browsing patterns. Graphical interfaces are the critical solutions for these complexities. Therefore, visualising the browsing histories interactively can be helpful in this case. There are many built-in basic visualisation browsing icons for the ease of the users in different browsers, which help the user quickly access the visited pages. But these tools lack in-depth analysis of users' browsing habits. In this study, we propose a novel approach for visualising the browsing history data and browsing habits of the user. We named this system BHVis (Browsing Habits Visualisation), which visualises the user’s web page visits using different visualisation methods and visual representations to make the browsing habits of the users explicable. The main contribution of this system is to enable users to gain insight into their browsing patterns and enable self-analysis and self-improvement. The system is evaluated based on different case studies. The study shows that this system enables users to gain insights into their web usage and monitor their web browsing habits.
