A computer-implemented method for predicting a user navigation event, the method comprising: storing a set of navigation data, the navigation data comprising at least one directed graph, where at least one vertex of the directed graph comprises at least one navigation event and an edge of the directed graph is weighted by a count value representing a number of times a navigation has occurred from a source vertex directly to a destination vertex coupled thereto by the edge, wherein each vertex of the directed graph comprises a hash value for a link that is computed using a hash function prior to the storing in order to maintain the set of navigation data in a confidential manner; identifying a current navigation history, the current navigation history comprising one or more previous navigation events accessed in a browser; mapping the current navigation history, using a processor, to the at least one directed graph within the set of navigation data, wherein the at least one directed graph includes a received navigation event or at least one of the one or more previous navigation events; determining a confidence value for a given navigation event using the at least one directed graph, wherein determining the confidence value further comprises: computing a hash value for each link on a current webpage using the hash function; comparing the given navigation event with a set of addresses present on the current webpage using the computed hash value for each link and the hash values for each vertex of the directed graph; and matching the given navigation event to an edge of the directed graph and a count value for the edge, wherein the count value is used to determine the confidence value; identifying the given navigation event as a likely navigation event based on the confidence value, such that the likely navigation event is configured to be utilized by the browser to assist with navigation operations; and pre-rendering a web page associated with the likely navigation event. storing a set of navigation data, the navigation data comprising at least one directed graph, where at least one vertex of the directed graph comprises at least one navigation event and an edge of the directed graph is weighted by a count value representing a number of times a navigation has occurred from a source vertex directly to a destination vertex coupled thereto by the edge, wherein each vertex of the directed graph comprises a hash value for a link that is computed using a hash function prior to the storing in order to maintain the set of navigation data in a confidential manner; identifying a current navigation history, the current navigation history comprising one or more previous navigation events accessed in a browser; mapping the current navigation history, using a processor, to the at least one directed graph within the set of navigation data, wherein the at least one directed graph includes a received navigation event or at least one of the one or more previous navigation events; determining a confidence value for a given navigation event using the at least one directed graph, wherein determining the confidence value further comprises: computing a hash value for each link on a current webpage using the hash function; comparing the given navigation event with a set of addresses present on the current webpage using the computed hash value for each link and the hash values for each vertex of the directed graph; and matching the given navigation event to an edge of the directed graph and a count value for the edge, wherein the count value is used to determine the confidence value; computing a hash value for each link on a current webpage using the hash function; comparing the given navigation event with a set of addresses present on the current webpage using the computed hash value for each link and the hash values for each vertex of the directed graph; and matching the given navigation event to an edge of the directed graph and a count value for the edge, wherein the count value is used to determine the confidence value; identifying the given navigation event as a likely navigation event based on the confidence value, such that the likely navigation event is configured to be utilized by the browser to assist with navigation operations; and pre-rendering a web page associated with the likely navigation event.
