I hate to answer this one, becasue it looks too much marketing-speech but this feature exists. Not on beta.cliqz.com but on the drop-down search on Cliqz browser.
Based on the tabs you have opened, different query expansions are selected. For instance as you type "hotel in ma..." probably would show you results for Mallorca, but if you have "Madrid" on a tab, then it will show results for "hotel in madrid".
There will be a blog post about this contextual search because it's our showcase that is possible to do personalization without compromising privacy. All this is done privately, the browser receives results for multiple expansions and can chose which one to display based on local information. We never track or collect sessions of users.
- amelius 7y agoOk, but can't you then figure out what the browser was displaying using Javascript?
- whatshisface 7y agoThey could, but then everyone would see them do it, and kind of the whole point is that they won't do it.
- amelius 7y agoBut who in their right mind would allow the Javascript code of one tab to access data in other tabs?
- solso 7y agoNot sure I get your point. But contextual search only works for the search within Cliqz browser, on the address bar dropdown, on the client space. The same approach cannot be done on the (web-page SERP page, beta.cliqz.com), because from a web we have no access to the tabs opened. It could only possible via tracking and user-profiling, which is something that we do not do, or want to do.
