Click-free Browsing Extension

Use mouse effortlessly: Follow links without clicking them and scroll pages without using a wheel. Just place mouse over appearing link or scroll icon, and the thing happens. Browsing the web doesn't have to be as physical an exercise as what you are used to.

Click-free Browsing adds fixed navigation icons to the right side of a page. By hovering mouse over an icon you can easily scroll the page, or go backward or forward in page history. Following a link, in turn, equals to hovering mouse over an icon next to a link, and the link will be clicked for you. Switching between tabs can also happen click-free.
