APPLICATION EXTENSION FOR PROVIDING RELEVANT CONTENT ITEMS

Abstract:

A supplemental content provider provides extensions to client devices. The extension receives information on third-party content displayed to a user of a client device, and retrieves a list of supplemental items relevant to the third-party content. The extension displays the list of supplemental items such that users can retain view of the third-party content while browsing the list of relevant items. The extension allows users to view relevant items without submitting search queries or disengaging from the third-party content. The supplemental items may be videos of an online education system. The extension may also allow users to gain access to the supplemental items without opening a new page of the application.
