The way we browse the Internet hasn’t really changed much over the last few years. Yes, we can now stream video across the web, but we’ve been able to stream video from disc for ages. It’s simply the rise of fast broadband that enabled us to stream media.

Web browsers are becoming more advanced, but how many new and innovative features do we find in our mainstream browsers, with each new release? If it wasn’t for the many add-ons and extensions that you can download for Firefox, the browser would never have become so popular. It’s left to the third-party developers to produce some of the functionality we’d like to be included as default, within our browser.

Hyperwords for Firefox is new technology that enables you to highlight a word on a web page and find more information. Say you wanted to find out about a town, simply highlight the word on the page, then use your right-mouse menu to select a reference. You can search Wikipedia, Google and many other locations. If it’s a foreign word, you can quickly translate, find a place on a map and much more.

Verdict

Interesting add-on that enables you to find out more information about a word on a web page
