There have been many Firefox extensions which claim to make your web browsing relatively easier and we have one more extension making the same statement. Kwiclick is a new Firefox extension which is still in experimental stage and those who are hypercritical about your systems need not use it or even read further.

Kwiclick allows users to search a keyword across some popular websites like Google, Amazon, Friendfeed and Wikipedia etc. without you having to leave the page. It basically cuts the need to open a new tab in order to search about something. For example you are reading about Sarah Palin and you get this urge to see any interview of her on Youtube . What you traditionally do in this case is open a new tab and then put in Youtube and search for Sarah Palin. With Kwiclick, all you have to do is just double click on the text Sarah Palin on the webpage and then click on ‘KwiClick Search for Kwiclick’ in the right context menu. A KwiClick contextual wiondow would appear where you could see youtube videos of Sarah Palin or what you wanna look for. I personally like the way it detects rich media on any webpage while watching videos on KwiClick are less obtrusive than on Youtube itself.

As I said before, there have been many such attempts and Kwiclick is just a shade better but you do feel the need to customize the web services in it while I would have liked it better had there been some Close buttons in the contextual window of Kwiclick because it takes some time to hide. All things said I don’t see it has any chance against the mother of Firefox extensions which does far more things than this one.
