Hover: A Smart Chrome Extension for Seamless Web Browsing

Hover is a Chrome extension designed to streamline one's online browsing experience. Leveraging Hover, users can preview a link's content by simply hovering over it for two seconds without actually opening the link. This saves users the hassle of juggling multiple tabs. Additionally, Hover empowers users to do a quick Google lookup by hovering over selected texts - an attribute that greatly assists research processes. Lastly, with the hotkey sequence CTRL+SHIFT+H, users can conduct quick Google searches without leaving the current tab, notably improving browsing efficiency.
