Abstract
A method and system of detecting website visit attempts by browsers includes monitoring networking operations generated by a client and intercepting a network address associated with the networking operations, detecting a type of website from the intercepted network address, and determining that a browser on the client has attempted to visit a website of the detected type based on the browser being in a running state and a website identified as historically visited by the browser matching the detected type of website. This can allow for the accurate detection of a browser's attempt to visit a restricted website, thereby accomplishing accurate monitoring of networking activities of the browser and enhancing the accuracy of subsequent prompting or intercepting of the networking activities of the browser.
