Although WC does not impede Scrapbook from its site element collection procedure it does indeed prevent the display of the collected page/selection in Firefox. On the other hand, it seems as if display is either fully or partially possible when the Firefox tab is changed to an IE tab via IE tab or the real IE is used. For now I have disabled WC as I have much more need for Scrapbook than this new extension. With that said, properly implemented this extension does indeed have a bright future.

Based on Internet Explorer 8’s WebSlices feature, the latest release of WebChunks allows you to subscribe to any area of a web page—whether the developer set it up for use with WebSlices or not. The gist, then, is that you can bookmark a dynamic section of a web page and quickly bring it up any time by clicking the WebChunks toolbar—similar to Dashboard’s Web Clips tool. The newer version (0.3) of this runner-up extension in the best Firefox 3 extensions contest isn’t available yet on Mozilla’s servers, but the latest is available from the site below.

I do hate new toolbars. Would be pretty nifty if it was integrated with bookmarks, like live bookmarks. I do hate new toolbars.
