## Description

**ImagePreviewer** is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by displaying a popup with an image preview whenever you hover over a link that points directly to an image file or a webpage containing an image. This immediate visual feedback helps you quickly identify images linked on various pages without needing to click or load the link.

**Important:** ImagePreviewer depends on the LinkFilterAPI from the LinkRedirector extension to function properly. Users must install LinkRedirector to enable ImagePreviewer's preview feature. To use, simply move your cursor over an image link, and a popup will appear with the preview. Moving the cursor away or clicking the popup will cause it to disappear. This tool streamlines image browsing and aids in quicker content identification on the web.
