Really amazing app not gonna lie! Is it possible to add an option to be able to choose when you see the preview? for example, right clicking and it showing up on the menu to open? Sometimes... it becomes a tad bit annoying when not looking for previews or anything and as you scroll down, the window keeps popping up. please and thanks! Keep up the good work!

Работает только в поисковой выдаче, на самих сайтах нет.
