Tested this extension on "The Daily Mail" with the setting to open the link when hovering for 3 seconds. The preview is just text only and it cuts half the page. Decent enough to find out what the daily mail is talking about since their headlines are vague af. Maxfocus is much better.

Preview any LATIN ALPHABET anywhere. This is what the name should have been. If there are images in your link, which is probably 99.99% of the web : you won't see them. If there's any other letter than A,B,C,D,etc. all you'll see is as a preview of the foreign text is : �� Great extension ! As long as one doesn't use it for more than 12 seconds.
