It's freeware for mozilla and def worth downloading if you are obsessed with browsing pictures quickly. umm you can dl it at outwit.com or on firefox addons.

But it turns out to be a really great interface for browsing photos, I love it. It's way better than SearchMe's interface. i'm surprised they got $31 mill for that.

This guy's project is nice and all, but the PicLens plug-in is fantastic. Whenever I'm painting and need references, I go to Google Image Search and, once there, just open PicLens to view a seemingly infinite wall of appropriate images to search through. It makes finding those images that you are looking for but always miss because they're on page 10 of the search results. One more vote for PicLens.

I'm sure you're right, but people just don't have the patience to wait for a slow interface to load. When all is said and done, people tend to gravitate towards speedy interfaces as Google has proven time and time again. @jeremy: accuracy shmaccuracy.
