WebTrails by Avast Labs is a Chrome extension that provides users with insights into their browsing history. This free add-on allows users to understand their online behavior through a graphical view of their browsing history stored in the Chrome browser.

With WebTrails, users can access seven different views and analyses to gain a deeper understanding of their browsing habits. The "Habits" view provides information on the times, days, and months when users are most active online, as well as their most frequently visited sites. The "Social" view highlights users' top connections, most used networks, and their most active times and days on social media. The "Search" view reveals users' top interests and keywords, while the "Videos" view showcases their most popular videos and service, as well as the time spent on videos. The "Locations" view displays where users' information is coming from, and the "History" view provides a comprehensive list of all their visits. Lastly, the "Security" view alerts users to major security leak events affecting sites they have visited and identifies any private information at risk due to unsecured connections.

One of the key advantages of WebTrails is its commitment to user privacy. No data leaves the browser, and no data is created or stored. Avast, the developer behind WebTrails, has made the source code for this extension available for inspection on GitHub under a creative commons license, further emphasizing their dedication to transparency.

To install WebTrails, users must confirm that they have read and agree to Avast's Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement, which govern the download and use of the product.

WebTrails by Avast Labs is an insightful tool for users who want to gain a better understanding of their online habits and behaviors, all while ensuring their privacy remains protected.
