Abstract
A URL monitoring system may use a user's browsing history to generate a score for the user. The score may be used to permit or deny access to a URL. The score may be used to represent the user's intent when browsing, and based on that intent, the user may be allowed access to a URL with conflicting classifications. The score may be also be used as a trustworthiness score so that a user who browses responsibly may have their score increased over time, and a user who browses irresponsibly or inappropriately may have their score decreased. The scores may be calculated and maintained on a user's client device, edge device, or other device within a network.
