Must have Browser Addon: Cooliris Previews

Cooliris Previews is a must have browser addon for power surfers. It boosts your efficiency by adding a Cooliris icon near every link, hovering over the link will open the content of underlying page in a new window.

The preview isn’t just a screenshot, you can actually browse the page, visit links or even watch videos through the preview window, as if it was a tab. The preview window automatically closes when you move the mouse away. The preview window also contains some buttons which can share the link with your friends, open the page in new tab or lock the preview window (so that it doesn’t close when you move the mouse away). This video will give you a better idea:

Cooliris comes extremely handy while searching the web; you can see the results, before actually visit the page. Initially developed as a Firefox Extension, Cooliris Previews is now available for Internet Explorer and Safari as well.

  • Here is a proxy website for you, which will filter all those ban which are running at your end. www.filyerpro.info.
  • Gili, it sounds like you might want to take a look at Interclue. It gives a significant bundle of textual info about a link in a nice unobtrusive tooltip window. Interclue Clueviews are triggered in a similar way to Cooliris Previews, but our link icons actually have information value - we call them "Linkclues". It's quite a different experience to Cooliris, and most people who've tried both seem to rate Interclue as being the more useful. Firefox & Flock only for now, but IE7 is not far off. We'll move on to other browsers as soon as we can.
  • Me neither. I see this one as a kind of annoyance.
    Thilak, you have a a point in your question. We really "burn" time clicking into websites which are totally useless for us. Maybe some textual info on the site is what we need.
  • I think this plugin is far worse than snap, and I hate snap. Definitely not a plugin I will be getting.
  • Mr.Byte: Same with all of us, but the problem is how will we know that the link contains something we need ?
