About

Context automatically tracks your research sessions across the web. No more losing your place in 47 open tabs.

HOW IT WORKS
• Click "Start" when you begin researching a topic
• Browse normally — Context tracks every page you visit
• Scroll positions are saved for each page
• Click "Pause" to take a break without losing your session
• Click "Stop" when done — everything is saved to history

KEY FEATURES

📍 Scroll Memory
Every page remembers exactly where you stopped reading. Click any tracked page to jump back to that exact scroll position.

⏯️ Pause & Resume
Research interruptions happen. Pause your session, handle life, then resume right where you left off.

🔍 Automatic Organization
Context detects what you're researching (technology, business, academic) and organizes your trails by topic.

📊 Visual Progress
See how much you've read of each page with subtle progress indicators. Know at a glance which sources you've fully explored.

🧠 Zero Interference
Translucent glass-morphic UI that doesn't block your content. Works silently in the background until you need it.

PERFECT FOR
• Students researching papers
• Developers learning new frameworks  
• Journalists investigating stories
• Founders researching markets
• Anyone who falls down Wikipedia rabbit holes

2. Click "Start" to begin a research session
3. Browse normally — pages are tracked automatically
4. Click any page in your trail to resume reading at your exact scroll position

No signup required. No subscriptions. Just a simple tool that respects your workflow.

---

Context was built by researchers, for researchers. We got tired of losing our place in deep research sessions, forgetting which sources we'd already checked, and having 83 tabs open "just in case."

This extension solves one problem really well: keeping track of where you've been and what you've read, so you can focus on actually learning.
