Abstract
The present invention is a system and method operable with generally available browser technology that may facilitate improved access and navigation of the Internet and world-wide web by a user who is a novice user or is a user with disabilities. A browser plug-in component may cause the display of buttons, indicators and/or textual information to a user to aid a user in accessing and navigating the webpages. The buttons, indicators and/or textual information may be provided as an overlay on existing webpages. The overlay and webpage display may be tailored to specific users at a point in time and over time so that the overlay elements may reflect user preferences and/or a level of access/navigation activities that is appropriate to the user.
