You know those pretty slideshows that you can view in Flickr? PicLens is a browser plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer that lets you view images from a bunch of sites as slideshows. When we last looked at PicLens, you could view images from Flickr, Google, Photobucket, SmugMug, DeviantArt, and Yahoo! Now PicLens has added support for YouTube videos.
When you click the PicLens button in your browser, you get a black screen and a search bar. Just type any term in the search bar and you can sift through a wall of YouTube thumbnails. Click a video and it will start playing. You can blow videos up to full screen, or look through more thumbnails while your video is playing. In other words, it's kind of like watching YouTube without the ads.

Last year we introduced PicLens as a plug-in for Safari that allowed you to view full screen slideshows of photo galleries and images in a slick interface that nicely integrated with the browsing experience. Since then, support for both Firefox and IE browsers on both Windows and Mac have been added allowing the rest of the world to give this plug-in a try.
PicLens is a slideshow plug-in for Safari that adds a full-screen browsing mode for viewing pictures on Flickr, Photobucket, Facebook, Google Images, Yahoo Images, and Ask.com Images. If you've got a newer Mac which has an Apple Remote, you can use it to advance through photos. It's very slick and unobtrusive, and perfect if you've got your Mac setup as a media center to your television. Never fear, Firefox and Internet Explorer users, they are promising versions for those browsers as well.
