Project/Feature Name: UP - User Personalization (in Nightly)
Tracking  ID:
Description:
Providing users better personalization on the web without web tracking.

This UP feature does this by having Firefox (on the client) cross reference website data (e.g., engadget.com is a Technology site) with the user's browsing data to summarize into high level categories. The users' category-summarized browsing data is made visible to the user through a dashboard as well as sharable to websites through a Interests WebAPI.
