Abstract

Tabs of online content can be positioned according to the relative importance of each tab to a user. A user's interaction with a plurality of online content is monitored, and user activity metadata generated by, and associated with, the user's interaction with the online content is collected. A plurality of tabs of the online content is opened in a graphical user interface, and a relative importance of each of the plurality of tabs to the user is determined based on the user activity metadata associated with the online content in the tab. At least a subset of the tabs are positioned relative to each other within the graphical user interface based at least on the relative importance of each tab.
