Publisher's description
From Cooliris :Cooliris' eliminates your hassle of having to click back and forth between your searches and the results pages, and thus losing context of what you're searching for. 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.

Version: Cooliris Preview 1.7
Pros: I honestly, since discovering it, can not get on without it. It's such a superb tool! I get to preview everything, it's much quicker, and works on every sort of link [except e-mail links, which would require you to open up your mail client. ie. mailto: formats].
I'm glad it's not a little thumbnail preview that I'd have to squint at to see properly.
Cons: Sometimes the delay can be a couple seconds long, but I think it's a small price to have to pay. =)

"It does what it says but Browster does it better."
Pros: This program cut down on search time and opens windows fairly quickly.
Cons: It is a bit awkward and unwieldy to use. The instant that the mouse comes to a stop over a link it will begin to open the site in a preview. Browster does a much better job of leaving you in control of what you want opened and when you want it opened.

Version: Cooliris Preview 1.7
Pros: Pretty easy to use. I like how Cooliris allows me to save time browsing on all websites. I think the CNET review is incorrect. It works on every website I've tried, even my own homepage. I like how the window preview size is adjustable and big enough that it lets me see what the webpage is really about, rather than being a small thumbnail.
Cons: Wouldn't mind having more preferences so I can, for instance, set up the delay/sensitivity of the preview window.

"GREAT help in shortening research/searching times"
Pros: See if a site is what you're looking for before you open it - see dead links before you wait ages for them to NOT open - see images much quicker ...
Cons: On smaller screens, the 'extra' window may be a problem - on my G5 Mac (using Safari) with cinema display it is great!

"Opens a huge picture of the site"
Pros: You can see the site before you click on it.
Cons: It opens a huge picture of the site that takes up half the page. I wish it opened a small thumbnail of the site. But it doesnt.
