Extension summary

When doing a google search you will find a box to the right that will show you a screen shot of the link you are currently hovering over.

This is still very much a work in progress and so is not bug free or finished, please expect regular updates and much more improvement in the future as I find more time to work on it.

This project is also opensource and so you can find the source code to the chrome extension here: https://github.com/z0san/PeekChromeExtension
