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. Site previews can be really helpful in speeding up web surfing, and this application helps simplify them. iReader can give a list of text when links are moused over. Weeding out the good sites from the bad ones that you really don't care to visit, and speeds up your reading by decreasing load times. The iReader gives users a bulleted list of content for the website link, called an intelligent summary. 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.

Looks like they need a grammar checker on their web page!

Just saw a newsletter from Snap that they have changed the options so users are now able to use on/off with snap as well.

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.
