View site content without clicking, using iReader
iReader lets users preview a links content before clicking on it. Unlike the somewhat annoying Snap, iReader is a browser extension that can be turned on and off by the user.

Although still a little buggy, iReader is useful in deciding whether to click on a link or not. iReader is available for both PC and Mac users running IE or Firefox.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

I use cooliris Firefox extension (http://www.cooliris.com) all the time. Very useful when going through a ton of Google searches or forum thread searches. When you hover over a link, a cooliris icon pops up to the right of the link. When you hover over that, the web page loads up in a frame.
