What is your opinion on Interclue?
« on: December 17, 2009, 08:25:13 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

This extension for Firefox/Flock etc. is to optimize your surfing: http://interclue.com/index.html
What are positive and what are negative aspects of this extension?

First thoughts were, what is interclue. Having visited the link provided, for me I wouldn't use it as to effectively provide that clue the page must be loaded in the background.

So for me any benefit of having a clue what is behind the link is negated by a) slower browsing (dial-up) and b) the potential security aspects of pre-loading the page (fine if you are protected to the nines with other extensions in firefox).

Here is the addon page for it in Firefox addons. Perhaps one can see what the reviewers will say.
