Found this amazing firefox plugin today and I just have to share it. It makes Digg and Forums so much easier to read.

I'll show rather than explain

There were some previewer attempts in the past. But my problem with them has been the tracking issue. It seemed like byr feeding you the preview from another server they could track what you are visiting. Is cool iris client side viewer?

installed into Firefox 2 latest, ran it, saw Firefox stall, removed it and moved on. first add-on to crash any Firefox installation. maybe unlucky, but not experimenting until a few more releases.

Really beautiful extension, but I had the same sort of experience as "chasing clouds" - actually, I had to reinstall a broken FF ... and reluctantly uninstall Cool Iris.
