User reviews
Users appreciate the concept of 'Preview any link, anywhere' as it saves time by enabling quick text previews of links, especially on text-heavy sites. However, common issues include poor functionality on many websites, inability to display images and non-Latin characters, and an outdated, unfriendly user interface. Multiple users request better customization options and improved closing and nesting behavior for previews. Overall, the extension is useful but hampered by technical limitations and lack of updates.

- Good concept for quick link previews appreciated by users.
- Works well on text-heavy websites.
- Provides text previews which help understand article content.

Cons

- Does not work properly or at all on many websites.
- User interface and design are outdated and unappealing.
- Lacks customization options like adjusting preview size, zoom, hover delay, and auto-closing behavior.
- Cannot preview nested links within an already opened preview, causing usability issues.

Papa Kanoc, 2024-09-10Fantastic extension.
Only point of critique is that it doesn't allow nesting previews.
If you've opened a preview, you can't also preview a link within the preview.

Gideon Scheepers, 2024-08-01Tested 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.
