Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing methods are provided for recommending websites that are relevant to a current website to which a user has navigated. A search engine is used to track a set of websites the user has visited immediately prior to the current website, while predictive model(s) are used to generate a sequence of websites that include the current website and the tracked websites. The sequence is compared against strings of websites within a browser-history log to identify matching strings, where the matching strings include the sequence and a respective candidate website. A probability of relevance is computed from a frequency that each of the matching strings has been visited within a predefined time frame. The probability of relevance for each of the matching strings is ranked against one another to distill the highest-ranked matching strings, which are parsed to extract and present the candidate websites included therein.
