Abstract
A browser generates automatic bookmarks to browsed pages of information based on a selection criteria. The selection criteria can be based on a duration of time that a user browses the viewed page or based on matching words in the viewed page to keywords or to a synonym list for the keywords that the browser generates using a thesaurus. The browser also automatically catalogs the bookmark-list entries into folders based on matching words in the viewed page to the keywords and the synonym list.
