Interclue for Firefox

Interclue for Firefox kind of excites me because I think they are trying to do a good job with a browsing idea that really hasn't been my cup of tea yet, the "thumbnail preview". One positive is that they say it stays out of your way when you do not need it - which is my argument against other extensions like this. As you can see in the preview, they offer more than just your standard screenshot of the next page too.

Here is how the developers of the extension describe it:
Interclue displays useful information and relevant next actions for almost any link on the web. Clueview tooltips are not like other previews, they show you only the most relevant content straight from the page, rather than relying on small cached snapshots or large scrolling windows.
This could either be a really helpful tool or an annoying clutter feature that drives me batty after 3 minutes of use. I think different people may take different things away from it. if you enjoy the idea of having a sort of "picture in picture" preview with some other handy links give Interclue for Firefox a shot.Similar Posts:

  • We're looking forward to hearing what you and your readers think of Interclue! We've spent a long time down here in New Zealand building a highly configurable and user-centric version of the link augmentation concept, and during that time others have come out with more basic concepts that work well for some people and in some situations, but we've always wanted to be more comprehensive, to try and add value everywhere we possibly can, in ways that suit a broad spectrum of Firefox users.

    We've been through a lot of iterations on the way to where we are (just made subversion checkin number 5000 yesterday) and we think we've definitely got the hang of adding value without getting in the way, which can be quite a balancing act.

    Getting it *just* right depends on how you like to surf, what sort of connection you're using, and how fast your machine is, which are the 3 key multi-choice questions we ask people on the "basic" options panel. For power users the "advanced" options panel lets them tweak just about everything, but most people won't need to go there.
