Firefox Extension - VideoSurf Videos at Glance Feb 5, 200912:23 PST

We’re really excited to announce the release of VideoSurf’s new FireFox extension, Videos at a Glance.

Visit the extension’s page in the Firefox add-on directory to install it and read on to learn more…

Videos at a Glance let’s you take VideoSurf’s unique Visual Summary experience along with you when you’re on other sites like Google and YouTube. VideoSurf’s Visual Summaries display selected thumbnails from the most important scenes in each video to allow you to easily find the video you want, avoid spam and jump to specific moments in a video. With this add-on, VideoSurf’s Visual Summaries will now display on video search results and on video viewing pages so you can see what each video is about before you watch it and jump in time to the moments you most want to see.

This is the next evolution of a Greasemonkey script that we released a little while ago to rave reviews from CNET, Lifehacker, ReadWriteWeb and others.

The new extension does everything the Greasemonkey script did plus a whole lot more. It now supports:

- Google Search
- Youtube Video Page (new!)
- Youtube Search Page
- Yahoo! Search
- FriendFeed (new!)

Also new in the extension:

- Support for videos from many, many more video sites (and more to come soon).
- Use the visual summary to jump in time while watching a video on YouTube’s video page.
- Discover more videos featuring the characters in the videos you view on Youtube.
- Option to make all HQ-compatible YouTube videos play in high quality by default on Youtube.
- Preferences pane to let you tweak the extension’s functionality on any of the supported sites.

Note: Please uninstall the old Greasemonkey script after installing this extension to prevent summaries from appearing twice.
