1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a user navigation event, the method comprising:

  • storing a set of navigation data, the navigation data comprising one or more navigation events and one or more selection counts associated with each navigation event, the navigation events and selection counts indexed by chronological data, and a value of the chronological data indicating when a navigation event was selected;

    determining a current chronological value, the current chronological value representing a present time;

    identifying a subset of the navigation data corresponding to the current chronological value;

    determining, using a processor, a ratio of a selection count of a particular navigation event contained within the subset of the navigation data to a count of all selection counts contained within the subset of the navigation data; and

    determining a probability of selection of the particular navigation event using the ratio, such that the probability may be used by a web browser to assist with network navigation.
