YouTube™ on Hover Preview

YouTube™ on Hover Preview is a Chrome extension that allows you to preview YouTube links on any website by simply hovering your mouse over them. This extension saves you the trouble of opening each link in a separate tab. You can customize the placement of the preview player and set a delay for the preview to appear. It also marks visited links and provides a 'Turn of the Light' mode for previews. Clicking somewhere inside the page hides the preview player. Visit the FAQ page for more information or report bugs on GitHub. Best for a hassle-free YouTube browsing experience!

Все еще работает, при этом имеет неплохие настройки, позволяющие регулировать расположение, размер и задержку появления всплывающего окна превью. На окошке сохраняются все элементы управления, вплоть до встроенных другими расширениями. То есть уже из превью, не покидая исходной страницы, можно регулировать скорость, громкость, качество видео.

Flawless. I recommend 2500 milliseconds and checking "Display on YouTube" in the settings.

Works pretty well,but would be nice to see more customization options like - show preview only as long as you hover the link with the mouse - show preview inside thumbnail instead of a seperate frame (with or without controls choosable)
