Thank you for all your efforts Dev, i would love a small entry on settings though, the ability to change which key sets the preview (i.e. shift or alt or ctrl). i find myself to change between two languages very often and many times the shift key now gives me the link window while i was just trying to write.

Other than that its perfect.

My search is over. I've spent 6 hours today testing all the various link previewers in the Chrome Web Store. This was the last one on my list and it is the best one. It works as expected and has smart functionality. The only link previewer I've used that is on par with this one is CoolIris which was on Firefox but now discontinued. I love it so much I use a legacy FFX version just so I can keep using it. The closest related extension for Chrome I could find that fully works is Search Results Previewer. Unfortunately, I had to disqualify it because it only works for google search results. Link Previewer not only checks all the functionality boxes (hover, preview window resizable, clean interface, adjustable popup timeframe), it looks and feels modern and responsive.

The only minor flaw/criticism I have related to Link Previewer is how the Preview Window opens. Currently, hovering over a link will create the Preview Window somewhere underneath the link. Depending on the location of the link on the webpage (towards the top or near the bottom) the preview window may open partially obscured (outside of the active browser window) which will require the user to reposition it unnecessarily each and every time it is opened. It may seem trivial, but this is a signifcant User Interface / User Experience issue. Fortunately, it is also a relatively simple thing to fix, whereby the preview window may be set to open to the left or right of the activating link, keeping it within the active window space. As an example, check out Search Results Previewer's implementation in which the preview window will always open in a favorable position.

With that said, my biggest thanks to the Developer on a much needed application for web browsing functionality and experience.

Thanks a lot for creating such useful extension that works like charm on all web without any limitation with good options as well.

There are dozens of extension in store but none is versatile like this one.

Developer provides supports if any issue and resolves issue very quickly.

Thank you.

This extension is convenient and very useful. I no longer have to click the site I am about to visit, this extension allows me to see some contents of the site I am about to access which is good since I am concerned with the privacy of my device. Kudos! :*

It's the best link reviewer extension I've seen so far, but it can be improved
as someone has already mentioned, sometimes the preview window gets obsecured requiring manual reposition, or even worse, you can't even drag it around because it's compeletly out of frame so you don't have the drag controls.
another issue is that many websites simply refuse to connect when previewed using this extension. I am not sure if this can be fixed from your end or not, but you can try to look into it.
fix these two issues and this will easily become a must have for everyone imo.

Thank you for the Link Previewer! One question, does it cache previewed pages?

I really like the app, it's clean and does what it says. Great!

It is a great option to provide the automatic delay with the number of seconds of our choice, or the manual option to press an assigned key. We naturally move our mouse over a link whilst reading, and the popup opens covering your screen. So we need to close the popup to continue reading the existing webpage. We all do it, but it would be great to have a little control over the popup. The manual option is fine if using your keyboard all the time, although others would prefer an automatic popup with more control.

1. Hovering over a link could show an icon/your logo to the right of the link so the user can decide if and when they want to click the icon to open the popup screen.
2. Is it possible to have more than 1 popup on the same webpage, i.e. looking at 2 links or more at the same time? Or a popup within the popup?
3. Is it possible to read pdf's within the popup, not opening another webpage?

I have looked at many apps trying to do the same and your app does what I need. It would be great to see a few updates. Many thanks for your great work!
