CoolPreviews Firefox add-on: Browse links w/o clicking on them!

sridhar · 07-01-2009, 09:05 AM

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207 lets you view the content of pages by simply hovering over links.

Check out the video I just made:

YouTube - CoolPreviews Firefox add-on: Browse...

It's useful and not obtrusive.

I've been playing with this, it's very cool. Many possible uses. Thanks.

With so many F/F add-ons my Browser tool bar is
pretty populated already. But this one Looks cool.

If there is a plug-in (such-function enabled) available that would work with my WP
Blog I would snatch it fast!

This plugin works on links that are on any web page. What are you looking for again?

If use plugin for wp, the viewer don't need to install the firefox's plugin, that's the differrent

Well What would be ideal that when visitors land in my blog,
My blog pages are enabled with the coolview feature within, regardless
of what browsers the inbound traffic used to visit my blog.
Another words, for the viewers' they don't need to add on this in their
browsers, rather my blog is enabled to provide cool view to viewers using
any browsers!

I have used this addon for a while and I think this is a very handy, however I prefer to use tabbed browsing in most situations over the CoolPreviews overlay.

Where I think CoolPreviews is great is when using the 'lock' function which keeps the overlay (popup) viewer open as I hover over different links on the page.

I find this especially useful when previewing links from SERPs, with the preview overlay remaining open as I hover over the various results.
