The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatically identifying additional content for a webpage. The systems and methods may create a side pane placed next to a webpage to supplement the webpage in a browser. The side pane may provide additional information or additional content to help users consume the webpage. The additional content may provide webpage insights and help the users further explore the webpage.

Automatic identification of additional content for webpages

Systems, methods and devices for surfacing web content in an operating system shell construct are provided. A taskbar web content element size may be selected based on an amount of free space in a taskbar. First and second scored web content may be received, wherein the web content is scored based at least on the web content's relevance score to a first user account. A taskbar web content topical display category corresponding to the first web content may be selected based on the first web content having a higher score than the second web content. A web content element of the selected size and topical display category may be caused to be surfaced in the taskbar. A selection of the surfaced web content element may be received and a subset of the first web content form the first source may be caused to be surfaced in a web content pane.
