From Cooliris:

With Cooliris, you can conveniently preview links on ANY WEBSITE, including Craigslist, eBay, Google, and Google Images. You won't have to open every single page. Just mouse-over any link or image thumbnail and you'll be able to preview the underlying Web page or picture without clicking.

"This program could well be the greatest invention since Google!"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
I don't know about anyone else, but even since the advent of tabbed browsing, I've gotten tired of having to remember to manually open a new tab when I want to see what's next. Now I don't have to since, although CoolIris doesn't preview pages within its preview pages, at least I don't need to open a new window unless I KNOW I want to!
-
"it's very cool!!!"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
you can save time and clicks with this software, it's very usefull!!
-
"Doesn't do it for me"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Cons
Previews too heavily cropped. Resizing the preview window failed to help as all I got afterwards was a tiny blue thumbnail which wouldn't respond to any action. More of a nuisance than a help.

-
"Brilliant save time checking if the link is worth following"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
Subtle reminder that it is there and traces link without the need to click
Cons
Can be a bit sensitive and loses the link even when the mouse pointer is still in the opened mini-window.
-
"a great help if you're in a hurry"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
I like the hovering effect - you can just hover your mouse over the blue dot and a little window will pop up showing you what is at the link so you can tell if you really want to leave the web site you are already at or go to a different one. Sometimes you can get all the info you want in the little pop up window.

"it works finely at SeaMonkey too"
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
the previews are the best tool i ever seen
-
"OK if you like that sort of thing..."
Version: CoolIris Previews 2.3.9
Pros
Does what it says on the tin, pretty well. Attractive little preview windows, with a reasonable range of options.
Cons
I found it intrusive and distracting. OK I'm usually using Firefox for research rather than entertainment, but I found it a rather sad triumph of form over content, and it continually took my attention from the matter I was trying to read.
