Surf Selfie, anyone?

Tracking of your Online habits has now become a regular habit by those wanting to know about them. We track our daily eating habits, our fitness habits which lead us to know more about ourselves. A Sweden-based startup Surfkollen has launched a plugin on Chrome & Firefox browsers which tracks your browsing history of the past week & summarizes your Online habits.

Now this may sound scary at first, because obviously you don’t want people looking into your browsing history. Privacy becomes an obvious issue. But Surfkollen claims not to use the user data for any other purpose. The browsing history will be tracked for past 7 days & will be deleted later. Not only that, but Surfkollen only gather the details of domains rather than the actual links. For example instead of a lengthy Facebook link, it will only record www.facebook.com as the Site you have visited.

The outcome will be a “Surf Selfie” that summarizes your Online reading habits in the past week. This analysis will help the user to better understand what Content he/she gathers from the Internet. Surfkollen plans to make user understand the importance of knowing the time spent on various Content online. This will help user to search for more content and learn more from the world of Internet.

Surfkollen is developed by Swedish software company NACKDEMIN. It’s only available on desktop versions of Chrome & Firefox browsers for now.
