We present a general purpose solution to Web content and services perusal by means of mobile devices, named Social Context-Aware Browser. This is a novel approach for information access based on users' context, that exploits social and collaborative models to overtake the limits of the existing solutions. Instead of relying on a pool of experts and on a rigid categorization, as it is usually done in the context-aware field, our solution allows the crowd of users to model, control, and manage the contextual knowledge through collaboration and participation. To have a dynamic and user-tailored context representation, and to enhance the process of retrieval based on users' actual situation, the community of users is encouraged to define the contexts of interest, to share, use, and discuss them, and to associate context to content and resources (Web pages, services, applications, etc.). This paper provides an overall presentation of our solution, describing the idea, the implementation, and the evaluation through a benchmark based methodology.
