Rabbit Hole Rescue Extension

Save your Web browsing sessions, and render them as easy-to-read visualizations.

Rabbit Hole Rescue is an extension that lets you record your Web browsing sessions at the click of a button. When you're logged in to your account, you can save these sessions, and view them on a Web page in the form of a tree diagram. This way, you can see the paths your browsing took, and how you ended up at any given page.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
This extension installs a simple button and popup. First, click the signup button (or the login button, once you have created an account) to be taken to the signup page. Once you have done this, you can begin saving sessions.

Click the start button to begin recording, and all open Chrome pages will be saved. Each new page you open will be added to the session until you click the stop button.

Click the visualization button to be taken to your visualizations page, where you can view eye-catching diagrams of your saved browsing sessions.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Anyone who does research on the Web, or anyone who has ever clicked on a page, and then wondered how their browsing led them down that Rabbit Hole.
