we were online par Spencer Chang

we were online is a browser extension—part game, artwork, and tool—that turns your Internet movement into a self-portrait of your time online.

Cursor trails, keypresses and clicks, scroll patterns, and navigation rhythms, time on pages come to life on the pages you visit and show you how long you've spent on each page.

What it collects (all configurable):
- Cursor movement, clicks, and holds
- Scroll and viewport changes
- Page navigation (screen time)
- Keyboard rhythm

What you can do:
- View per-site "internet portraits" that visualize your browsing as trail art
- Choose three privacy levels: off, local-only, or shared
- Configure exactly which data types are collected

Your data stays on your device by default. All text content is redacted. You choose what's collected and whether anything is shared for art and exhibition purposes.
