      This is a plugin for firefox that allows you to preview a link by hovering over it with your mouse.
      The previews are fully functional pages that open in a little window over the current page

      pretty cool

      Huh, I hadn't heard of that.
      Right now I'm using something similar, Browster, which works with Firefox and IE, but I didn't really install it intentionally, and it really annoys me, so when I'm feeling less lazy than normal I'm going to install it.

      It sounds pretty neat. I&#39;d use it if I had broadband (but I can see a few caveats, like with the Google Accelerator - what if you accidentally &#39;preview&#39;, say, the page to delete a post, and your posts start to mysteriously go missing?)

      Oh...Browster works with all links. That&#39;s why it&#39;s so annoying to me--if you&#39;re scrolling through a bunch of thumbnails, like on DeviantArt, or especially on YouTube, it always pops up a whole ton of embedded windows which all try to simultaneously load videos inside of them because you accidentally mouse over the link when you&#39;re scrolling through the page...
      Ugh. It gets in the way a LOT.

      Dunno. Cooliris might be able to, but all the Browster settings are screwed up because of some odd installation problems...

      It&#39;s pretty cool. Firefox has a plugin that let&#39;s you automatically preview window all search results in Google, Yahoo, etc.

      I also can&#39;t live without mouse gestures and scrapbook.
