Firefox is not the only browser with great add-ons. Google Chrome’s extensions are gradually building up and forcing users to decide between browsers. Recognizing that a lot of users use Chrome and Firefox interchangeably, some add-on developers are now making their add-ons for both browsers, not just one.
Most of these multi-browser add-ons are wonderful to work with and add great functionality to any browser they are added to. One such add-on is Cooliris that creates an amazing 3D wall of the images and video on a site and presents it to you.
The Cooliris version we will be exploring is the Chrome one which can be downloaded here (unfortunately the link on the official Chrome extensions is currently down, for which purpose we are linking you with the CNET URL).

You will notice that the extension’s size is larger than other extensions. That is because rather than building on an innate function of Chrome, Cooliris has to introduce a completely new visual effect.

Let us see what Cooliris looks like in action.

Suppose you have just searched for the word “hippo” in Google Images; here is what your results will look like:

You will only be able to see a limited number of pictures; to see rest of the results you will need to click on a link and turn the page.
To activate Cooliris we click on its icon in the address bar (encircled in the image above). A 3D wall will be generated in a new tab which looks like this:

This wall can be dragged with the mouse pointer. All results can be viewed simply by dragging the wall:

This view more enjoyable and makes finding an image easier. We can use this images/video 3D wall viewing option with multiple websites of which the names can be found in the image below:

A user can click on the Channels button in the top left panel and a list of categories will appear which contains videos and pictures relevant to that category:

By browsing through the channels one can view great images/videos in a similar 3D wall fashion.
Cooliris for Chrome is currently in its beta stage but should still be given a try. This nifty add-on will remarkably improve your Chrome experience.
