QuickView

Web pages contain embedded “gateways” – links to other sources of info.But how often did you want to peek into those gates (links) without actually going there ? Quickview is the solution for that.Quickview is an extension to preview any link.Once installed, middle-click or ctrl /click , presto your gate opens for a peek.You can even select any text on the page, and click a virtual button on the bottom right part (or just press ‘f9’) to view what world is saying about the selected text.You can also view- Conversations @ : Contextually, just-in time, find out what others are saying about the information you are watching- Blog search : What are blogs saying about this.- Web search : contextually search the link text on the web. Maybe someone has better information source.

Supported versions: Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.* ALL

Notes / Comments: This uses middle-click for pre-viewing a link. (I am open to suggestions for better options for launching a preview)Note that one can still drag the link to tab areas to open in new tab. Secondly, once you preview, one can click on the top border to anchor it as full tabUnlike Cooliris, this is not for just previewing Google search links, it is for any link on any page.
