Visible Connections is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance web browsing by allowing users to create and view connections between web pages. It operates on sites that support new data formats, enabling users to publish connected pages or enhance existing content. Users can link their own documents or provide commentary on external content, fostering a deeper understanding of web interconnections. The extension focuses on providing a safe browsing experience by disabling scripts from connected pages and requiring user confirmation for downloads from different domains.

Currently functioning mainly as a viewer, Visible Connections aims to introduce the concept of hypertext to the web. Future updates are expected to enhance its functionality for content creators. The project draws inspiration from hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson, with aspirations to further explore his visionary concepts. While the extension serves a specific purpose now, it may pave the way for broader browser support of visible connections in the future.
