This isn't an ad play at all. It's an attempt to build features into the browser that help people find new contextually relevant web sites. Say you're on YouTube watching a video. Where are the outbound links? How do you get to other sites that are embedding or linking to the video to see what they have to say? Today you can't because YouTube wants to keep you in YouTube. But what if your browser could tell you about related sites so you could escape YouTube and find great contextually relevant content out on the Open Web? Wouldn't that be nice? Nothing to do with advertising at all.
- niftich 10y agoRight, so it's a competitor to Facebook Graph [1], which uses a combination of data mining (from Facebook) and special xmlish tags that website operators can put on their page [2]. It sounds like if you opt in to this venture, it will use your browsing habits to mine those relationships; I wonder if it will ingest Facebook's "OpenGraph" tags [2].
