ΔI8 Cobrowser

About

∆I8 enables small groups to browse the web together in real time. It adds shared presence and session awareness to everyday browsing, allowing participants to see where others are navigating and remain contextually aligned without screen sharing or remote control.

The extension is designed for collaborative exploration across personal, educational, and professional contexts, with an emphasis on user control and minimal data use.

Core Features:

Shared browsing sessions: Users can create or join a session and navigate the web together. When a participant moves to a new page, others in the same session can see that navigation and follow it if they choose.

Presence and session awareness: ∆I8 shows when participants join or leave a session and provides lightweight indicators of activity, helping groups maintain shared context without interrupting individual workflows.

Anchors and reference points: Participants can mark reference points during a session to help others quickly sync to the same page or context during collaborative browsing.

Explicit, user-controlled participation: All participation is opt-in. Users decide when to join a session, when to follow shared navigation, and when to leave.

Design Approach:

∆I8 is designed as a lightweight, browser-native alternative to screen streaming or remote-control tools.

- Runs directly in the browser with no separate application required
- Avoids screen capture or video streaming
- Allows participants to browse independently while remaining contextually aligned
- Designed to minimize overhead and interruption to normal browsing workflows

This approach supports extended collaborative sessions while preserving individual control over the browsing experience.

Common Use Cases:

Personal use (friends and family): ∆I8 can be used by friends or family members who want to explore websites together, review information side by side, or walk through online content collaboratively while remaining in their own browsers.

Study and group learning: Students and study groups can use ∆I8 to review materials together, follow shared references, and remain aligned during group learning or exam preparation sessions.

Joint research teams: Research collaborators can use the extension to explore sources together, maintain shared context across multiple websites, and reduce friction during collaborative discovery.

Professional use: Teams can use ∆I8 during walkthroughs, reviews, or coordinated exploration of online tools and resources, without granting control over another user’s browser.

Classroom and instructional settings: Educators can use ∆I8 to guide students through websites or online materials, helping groups remain synchronized while allowing each participant to browse independently.

Privacy-First Design:

∆I8 follows a minimal-data approach:
- Only information required to operate shared browsing sessions is processed
- No advertising, profiling, or analytics
- No sale of user data
- No access to webpage contents beyond what is necessary for session coordination

All data processing is limited to providing the extension’s stated functionality. For details, please refer to the privacy policy linked on this page.

Transparency and Control:

∆I8 clearly indicates when a user is participating in a shared session and allows users to leave at any time. The extension operates only when enabled and does not perform background monitoring outside of active use.

Jump navigation occurs only when explicitly enabled by the user and requires a manual click to navigate to a shared page and location.

Page URLs are transmitted only to enable real-time collaboration features and are processed transiently. URLs are not stored or used for analytics or advertising.
