An approach for providing a framework to maintain continuous access to web content bookmarked in a browser, the framework comprising web content storage, change detection and change notification. Embodiments of the present invention create and store a snapshot of bookmarked web content with a version number in a repository and the snapshot is replaced by a new snapshot whenever bookmarked web content is updated, while access to previously versioned snapshots is maintained. Change detection comprises automatically subscribing to content update notification services provided by a web content provider and receiving updates, comparing the content of a most recent snapshot with the web content available from the content provider and detecting a change to the bookmarked URL. Keywords from a snapshot can be used to relocate web content at a new URL and a web browser user is notified whenever a change to bookmarked web content is detected.
