This morning on TUAW, they posted about a great new Safari Plugin called Piclens. With this plugin installed, visiting sites like Flickr and Facebook are way more enjoyable.

To install, just download the package and run the installer. You’ll have to restart Safari to activate the plugin. Once installed, anytime you mouseover thumbnails on a page there will be a little icon that pops up. (pictured above) Clicking on that icon will create a slideshow of all the pictures on that page. It’s much like a iPhoto slideshow, but pulling pictures from the internet. When you’re done, just hit “esc” or click on the x in the corner.

The plugin is for Safari only and it’s in beta right now. But I used it for 15 minutes on different sites and had no problems. Fun!
