What a great blog series, thanks for the link!
Honestly, it came up on a StumbleUpon alternative I was using.
You care sharing said alternative?
Cloudhiker.net . It works almost the same way. For a free account you can save favorites but you don't get history saved. So, if you want that histor, you just click on the website at the bottom to open the website outside the UI of cloudhiker which works right in any browser.

BC quite frankly, the Mix app they replaced stumble Upon with succccckkks!
Ty!
