User reviews

Prevue Popup is praised for its simplicity, speed, and effectiveness in providing link previews without opening new tabs, significantly improving browsing efficiency. However, it faces issues like inconsistent performance across browsers, unreliable Alt key triggering, and insufficient user guidance. Users also request dark mode support to match their browsing environments. Overall, it is highly valued by users where it functions correctly but could benefit from improved compatibility and features.

Inconsistent functionality across different browsers (e.g., Vivaldi, Brave) and environments

Awesome. Just works! Does the exact thing I was looking for which is keeping me in the same tab while giving me link previews. Using it in Arc. Thanks for making it!

Saw you on Reddit, the top result when you search link previewer requires tokens for previews. In my opinion, this should top and replace that! It definitely works, those who say it don't work are in the wrong environment, or are doing something wrong. Review below me in terms of date says that it doesn't work, but it does, tested on Brave.

Не работают, не поняла, как пользоваться, какие клавиши нажимать, при наведении ничего не срабатывает, зажимаю — тоже ничего не срабатывает.
