Link Preview Sidebar

Preview links in a sidebar instead of a new tab.

What is Link Preview Sidebar?

"Link Preview Sidebar" is a Chrome extension designed to simplify and streamline your browsing experience. Instead of opening online links in a new tab, users can preview these links directly in a sidebar. This efficient tool is highly customizable and can be activated by either right-clicking and selecting 'Open in sidebar' or holding the Alt key while clicking a link (⌥ on macOS). Created to boost productivity and offer a seamless browsing experience, the Link Preview Sidebar’s icon is credited to Kirill Kazachek from www.flaticon.com.
