by emvaized, 3 years agoGreat idea! I liked the nested previews approach.
Unfortunately this is also limited by CORS policies, the same as other similar iframe-based addons, which leads to not all pages being available for preview – but I guess this could not be resolved until such a feature will be implemented in the browser itself.
My suggestion would be to show different 'Open in background tab' and 'Open in foreground tab' actions. Also would be great to see this extension open-source, and option to reveal hover tooltip only when holding the modifier key (CTRL or Shift).

- Rated 5 out of 5by RH, 3 months agoHow is this not a default feature?!!? Seriously: I hunted for this or a similar hover/preview add-on. This is perfect! Exactly what I envisioned! The hovered previews have scrollbars, they are nested, you can easily move back to the nested level you wish to.... Perfect. :)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dan, 8 months agoIt does the job as it offer. There is a bug though. You have to click on the extension icon twice to make it appear.
- Rated 1 out of 5by rs11, 2 years agoNot currently working with Craigslist, my main need. I get "There was an error loading this page" in each hover-box there.
Where it does work, e.g. at Rhymezone, need is to have a bigger hover-box. But making it bigger only lasts for that hover. Opening another hover-box from the very same page reverts to using the tiny box! How to make the bigger box setting stick for a site? - Rated 5 out of 5by Spark, 2 years agoAdd a way to make it enable for every website without separately clicking it and a blacklist to disable it from some sites
