About Web Browsers Summary:

"GooglePreview is a Firefox add-on that enhances both Google and Yahoo search results. Thumbnail preview images are shown next to each result, giving you an idea of what a site actually looks like before clicking on its link. This can be useful for a number of reasons, including security. Also accompanying each search result is that particular website's overall popularity rank. If you utilize one of the "big two" for your everyday searches then GooglePreview makes a nice addition to your Firefox browser."

Publisher's Description:

"Inserts preview images (thumbnails) and popularity ranks of web sites into the Google and Yahoo search results pages. The GooglePreview thumbnail system currently consists of 8 dedicated servers and generates 8 TB of traffic per month."
