Cooliris

Cooliris



Here's today's must have Firefox extension - COOLIRIS . In a nutshell,when you mouseover a link, this little blue icon appears.  Move the mouse pointer over it ...


and voila!  You're looking at the site itself.  If you want, you can even navigate around  without ever leaving your current page, and without, apparently (based on one sample by me), leaving any footprints. Cooliris is an improvement over the SnapShots plug-in that proved to be too intrusive.  It's free, and if you don't like it just disable or dump it in a second.


You're welcome.

Hey, thanks! I just added it and tried it out at Drudge and Google pages. Awesome, especially when using a slow ass wi-fi site. Read an entire article w/o leaving the host site. Nice...

I've had this for months, and it is a bad mistake to visit a site like this with that extension working. Every single image on the site turns into a new cooliris tab and then the tabs turn into more copies of the homepage which each end up loading that rollover of the top image.

Rodger, I've had CoolIris and it is very nice.

However, have you tried Piclens?

WOW!!!!

It takes a lot to impress me. This plug-in does.

Uhhh ... LGD - If using it is a bad mistake then why have you had it for months?

Why didn't you get rid of it?
