Abstract
Features are disclosed for enabling users to efficiently store and share browsing sessions or portions thereof with other users or the general public. Browsing session requests and other activities may be sent to an intermediary system, which can retrieve requested content and store a representation of the requested content or data regarding the requested content. The stored data may be organized as a saved browsing session such that users may access the shared browsing session at a subsequent time and view the browsing session substantially in its entirety. Users may search for shared browsing sessions and access data regarding the requests made during a browsing session. In addition, data regarding client devices used during shared browsing sessions may be tracked and associated with the shared browsing sessions such that subsequent users can search for shared browsing sessions based partly on such device characteristics.
