Abstract

Systems and methods for assisted network browsing are described. In one described method, a client device receives an interest signal indicating a user's interest in a hyperlink contained in a first document. The client device responds to the interest signal by generating a request signal comprising a request for third-party-provided information about a second document associated with the hyperlink. The client device receives the requested third-party-provided information and causes it to be output in association with the first document.
