Interclue is a reliable Firefox extension that will provide link summaries and information before you click on it.
Small icons appear when you mouse over links to warn you about dead links, Malware or Phishing Sites, etc, and for any valid link, Interclue provides a compact link preview along with optional extra information and next action buttons.
Interclue also adds inline clues on search result pages from Google, Yahoo and Bing, including keyword tags from Delicious and Search Refinements from Surf Canyon.
Surf Canyon supports the further development of Interclue. Inline clues are trivially disabled using the [x] next to the feature, or in the extensive Interclue options panel.
