Viewpoint Toolbar

visual web search companion

Our Rating: (Very Good)

Viewpoint Toolbar is a visual web search companion and Favorites manager that displays thumbnails of the current search result (web pages) along the top of your browser screen. You can also dog ear selected pages to visit them later, or hover your mouse over a thumbnail to get a larger view. The program allows you to manage your IE Favorites in the same way, by displaying a thumbnail image of the web site associated with the Favorite entry. Viewpoint Toolbar also includes a popup blocker that allows you to block and review popups from an unique popup bin. The only downside of the program is that the visual search engine results are limited to Yahoo results and cannot display thumbnails for any other search engine. However, this can also become handy as it automatically displays the Yahoo result thumbnails on top, even if you search a different search engine like Google, giving you a second opinion and twice the results.
