TrailBlazer is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your web browsing experience by organizing each tab into unique "Trails" that capture the natural flow of your internet journey. With TrailBlazer, there's no need to sift through countless bookmarks or dig into your browsing history — every link you visit is neatly grouped into Trails, creating a clear path of each browsing session.
🌟 Automatic Organization: Each new tab you open becomes a Trail, automatically tracking every link you click from that starting point.
🌟 Intuitive Structure: See each browsing session as an organized journey, with each page categorized in sequence.
🌟 Save and Retrieve Trails Instantly: No more forgetting where you found that one crucial article or link — TrailBlazer keeps your sessions structured and accessible.
🌟 Visual Simplicity: Our clean, modern interface is designed to make it easy to find your way through every Trail, whether it’s for research, entertainment, or productivity.
- Automatic Trail Creation: Each new tab you open is a new Trail.
- Continuous Session Capture: As you click links in each tab, TrailBlazer adds them to that tab's Trail, maintaining a record of each page you visit.
- Easy Access and Organization: Open the TrailBlazer icon in Chrome to see all active Trails, browse through pages you've visited, and revisit any link instantly.

Close a Trail:

Currently, each session is saved only while the tab is open. Once a tab is closed, its Trail is cleared. This feature helps keep your browsing history streamlined and focused on your current sessions.
At the moment, TrailBlazer focuses on organizing active sessions. For future updates, we’re considering options to save or export Trails for long-term storage.
