Discover Related Webpage Content with Glydo for Firefox
Are you seeking a straightforward method to locate webpage content that aligns with your current browsing? Or do you simply wish to stay informed about the latest news? Now, you can accomplish both with the Glydo extension for Firefox.
More Information About Glydo
Initially developed based on webpages from this very site, finding related content – such as videos – previously required manual searches. Imagine a tool that could automate this process and present the results in a readily usable format?
Glydo in Operation
After installing the extension and restarting Firefox, a “welcome page” will appear, providing information about Glydo and introducing your new “Glydo Tools” in the “Status Bar”. At this point, everything is fully operational.
Here’s a detailed view of Glydo within the “Status Bar” – designed to be unobtrusive. It’s important to note that the buttons displayed in the “Status Bar” will adapt based on the content of the webpage you are currently viewing.
Exploring Glydo’s Functions
The first button provides access to articles and stories categorized similarly to your current content (for example, software). Related news or webpage content can also be selected directly from the “Ticker Area”.
The second button concentrates on more specialized information connected to the content you are presently viewing.
The third button displays webpages containing content similar to what you are currently viewing.
The fourth button is ideal for news enthusiasts who want to stay updated with the latest headlines. The headlines originate from diverse sources, including Google, Yahoo, TMZ, and the BBC. Similar to the first button, related news can also be selected from the “Ticker Area” when viewing news articles.
If you’ve discovered a webpage you’d like to share on social media, the fifth button opens a popup menu with a selection of popular social services. If your preferred service isn’t listed, simply click “More…”.
Selecting “More…” will open a new tab where you can easily choose your favorite social service from the extensive list available.
Glydo Options
The Glydo button provides access to a small popup menu, offering the most convenient way to access the “Options”.
Having reviewed Glydo’s features on a How-To Geek webpage, let’s select some related content. In this example, we navigated to the “Webpages Category” and clicked on the second entry.
Clicking on an entry will open the link in a new tab (unless this feature is disabled in the “Options”).
As previously mentioned, the buttons visible will vary depending on the webpage you are viewing. For the Microsoft webpage shown, two additional buttons became available: “Tweets” and “Videos”.
The related Tweets…
And the related videos. This is particularly useful if you are a visual learner and prefer watching demonstrations.
Configuration Options
Glydo offers a minimal set of options to configure. You can select how recommendations are opened, adjust the timing interval for the “Status Bar Ticker”, and control the frequency of notifications.
Conclusion
Utilizing Glydo provides an engaging way to discover similar content on other webpages and to remain current with the latest news. If you are inquisitive and enjoy exploration, this extension may be worth a try.
