KwiClick extends your browsing without breaking it

I think I’ve said it before but I’m not a big fan of web services and add-ons that promise text, audio, or video content related to the page I am currently viewing. At the same time I’ve always wanted a PIP (picture in picture) kind of extension so I can keep an eye on a (long) video while I keep browsing around.

Thanks to KwiClick, a Firefox extension (compatible with versions up to 3.5 Beta 4) developed by KwiClick, I can now. Select some text, right click and select KwiClick  Search. A floating window will rise with Google search results in a tab, but you can quickly see search results in YouTube, Wikipedia ,Twitter, Facebook and a few others in just a click, all within the floating window, without breaking your browsing flow.

KwiClick

And since you can even play a YouTube video (and rip it) and pin the window so it remains visible at all times, I am now watching an old 1930 video of La Habana, Cuba, as I post this. A keeper for me.

You can get KwiClick from Mozilla Add-ons.

great discover, the browser is an operating system, the new blank tab is a desktop and in a desktop you can have multiple windows:

sorry, only in spanish, please, use the gagdet of Google Translator at the top and in the right of the page.

The concept of the tab and the browser must evolve.

Very cool extension. Just installed and works especially well on two monitor set-up. I have the floating window open on my secondary monitor and keep working on the primary. Well done!!
