Abstract
Current methods for comparing content across multiple browser tabs are limited because tabs are treated as separate rendering instances. Comparisons of data across different pages often involve manual navigation or reliance on static text tables that lack interactivity. A technique is disclosed where a comparison interface is generated by extracting attributes from the underlying data structures of selected browser tabs. This interface synthesizes extracted data into a graphical overlay including parametric controls such as sliders and dials. Interactions with these controls trigger modifications to the browser state. These modifications include the physical reordering of tabs within a tab strip, visual highlighting of relevant thumbnails, or the generation of a side-by-side view on a canvas-based surface. This technology transforms open tabs into manipulatable data points within a unified graphical layer, facilitating multi-tab content synthesis and navigation without manual switching between browsing contexts.
