Microsoft has released a new extension for Internet Explorer 9 that allows users to find more information on the questions they ask in forums by linking web sites where other users looked for information to help formulate the answers they gave. ?This may sound a bit scary in terms of privacy, but Microsoft promises that the browsing history logged will include only tech forums and it will simply look at an obscured version of the previous hour of history.
None the less, this may freak some users out, but it?s simply a browser add-on, so if you don?t like it then you don?t have to install it. ?If you think it sounds useful then you can head over to Microsoft Research to download version 1.0.
?CiteHistory is an experimental Internet Explorer 9 browser plug-in that enables MSDN and Stack Exchange forum participants to share the pages they visit in association with asking and answering forum questions. For example, askers can list pages they have already investigated, while answerers can list the pages that they found useful in providing their solutions. As part of the research data collection, CiteHistory transmits browsing logs associated with visitation of technical forums. When a person visits MSDN, or a Stack Exchange website, CiteHistory logs the visit to the forum and an obscured representation of the past hour of browsing history. We can analyze only coarse browsing patterns with this data. No data are logged unless a person visits a technical forum.?
