I’ve been working on an extension for Firefox 3 called KwiClick. Yesterday I finished my work on it, and version 2.0 has now been put on addons.mozilla.org. You can download it here. It is still marked as experimental so you will have to log in to be able to download it.

KwiClick integrates different web providers within the browser. It provides immediate results for Google, YouTube, FriendFeed, Google Maps, Flickr, Wikipedia, Amazon, Technorati, and del.icio.us. KwiClick adds another dimension to the browser by extracting and presenting content within an innovative contextual window. What makes this extension so cool is how we detect embed content from Flickr, YouTube, and Google Maps and add actions within the browser content to be able to get more information about the objects. It is kind of hard to describe, but lucky there are some great pictures that help demonstrate.

Extract comments from embedded YouTube videos found on any web page.

Detect an address/location on a web page that contains microformats.

This extension is marked as experimental so we need everyone to download it, try it out, and write a review of it. The more reviews we have the easier it is to get it moved out of the experimental sandbox.
