It’s a fair point Skytower, I just don’t like the fact they’re not optional when I’m browsing.

I do use the ‘CoolIris’ extension for Firefox, which does exactly the same thing, but only when ‘I’ want to. Recommended.

I’m undecided. I use the feature on my site, but I have to say that it was on an experimental basis (pretty much sums up most of the stuff on my site!).

It is a nice idea, to see in advance what you could be clicking on (albeit in mini form), but I also comprehend the intrusiveness that it posts. Six of one, and all that…

I find them annoying and obtrusive. They cover the content I’m trying to read without asking me if it’s ok.

They’re like pop-up ads all over again.

You’ve not encountered these little ‘Snap Preview’ windows yet? Count yourself lucky, they’re a scourge…

I didn’t know what it was — now I’ve lost five minutes following the links to see what the problem was.

I’m thinking it’s time to run up the cocktail flag on the yacht.
