Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This tiny extension provides ability to quickly preview links without leaving the current page context. It adds entry in context menu of links, and when clicked, opens new small window at cursor position, with no tab bar and addressbar.

Features: ● Open images and search selected text in popup window ● Use drag and drop to open in popup window (disabled by default) ● Use Shift + Click to open in popup window (disabled by default) ● Configurable popup height, width and position on screen ● Close popup window when regular window regains focus ● Automatically reopen new single tab windows as popup windows ● New popups can be opened from existing popups as well

This extension is intended to be used as an analogue of Safari Link Preview, or the new Arc Peek. It's a great way to preview links, which works everywhere and is not affected by the CORS problem like extensions which are using iframe element for link preview.

⚠️ If "Open by drag" and "Shift+click to open" options are not working, or the popup window always gets positioned in the top left corner disregarding the settings, please make sure you gave extension permission to run on every page, and that current page is not restricted from access by extensions (for example, chrome://* pages)
