Abstract
Disclosed herein a browser that intelligently places a user interface (UI) element on a webpage such that the UI element appears to be integrated and coordinated with the webpage and not merely overlaid on the webpage. The intelligent placement ensures that the UI element neither obstructs the view of pertinent content displayed via the webpage nor interferes with the functionality of the webpage. Moreover, the intelligent placement ensures that the UI element is completely visible to a user. The placement of the UI element is done by the browser after the webpage has been retrieved from a web server. Consequently, the browser lacks the ability to control or alter the layout and appearance of the webpage. The UI element can be a selectable UI element that the browser associates with a function. In one example, the function can be an image-based search.
