Stumble Buttons

What it was

Stumble-style browsing let people jump to unexpected pages by interest category.

Why people remember it

• It turned boredom into exploration.
• The surprise was the feature.
• It worked because the open web had enough weird corners to reward randomness.

What replaced it

Usually a platform feature, a private analytics dashboard, a cleaner app pattern, or a feed. The behavior rarely disappears; it gets renamed and absorbed.
