Girafa is a free Web navigation tool that works alongside your browser, providing you with visualization capabilities when searching and navigating the Web.

The Girafa toolbar shows you visual previews of Web sites without the need to visit or load the sites. With Girafa, you can see thumbnail images of your search results displayed alongside the textual search results provided by the search engine. The visual presentation helps identify relevant links and eliminate redundant entries to unwanted Web sites or dead links.

You can also use Girafa to see thumbnail images of any link or links displayed on a Web page. All you have to do is highlight any link you see on a Web page to view that site's visual preview. Using Girafa's unique visualization capabilities, you can always see what is behind a link without visiting or loading the site. If you like what you see, simply click on the image to enter.

Girafa also allows you to save thumbnail images of Web pages you view while navigating the Web. You can save your search results for later review, add Web pages to your personal visual index, or simply add them to your Homepage Collection, which is a one-click access to the Web sites you visit on a daily basis. You can even e-mail a visual link to a Web page, instead of a standard text link.
