Simple link preview by Lecron

Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 14243109, 6 years agoI can't help but compare it with the old CoolPreviews extension that was bought up by Yahoo and then faded away, particularly since this add-on is using the same graphical icon that CoolPreviews did.
It works as it suggests, but the preview window isn't moveable and the pin isn't required because they are ALL pinned by default and only clicking on the X will close the window.
It could stand the user option of choosing where you'd like the graphic to come up when you hover over a link, too.
But it does, otherwise, work fine.

posted 6 years agoThanks for your feedback. Yes, the addon is similar to CoolPreview, but only for the task to be solved. In the rest, there is a difference between the words "Cool" and "Simple", which are included in the addon name. "Simple" will remain as simple as possible.
I'm surprised that automatic hiding does not work. Moving the cursor outside the preview window hides it.
