Timeline, calling it stuff is kinda lame marketing. Been using it as a Windows insider, it keeps track what documents were open in which application. Works great with office but I guess will take a while before all applications add support for it. Generally it's a good idea even if using only one device, think of it as "recent files" on steroids.

Most browsers cache files on disk; maybe Timeline keeps track of those cached files, instead of sniffing internet packets?
