Extension summary

SneakPeek is a better way to browse the internet.

Do you know how you're searching for something on the web and end up visiting like 1000 pages just to go back in a few seconds because it's clearly not what you're looking for? Yeah, painful, we know...

SneakPeek provides a simple way to Peek and Preview links without opening the page. You can: • Trigger a Peek (by link hover + trigger key) to see the promo image, description, and the start of the page text. • Trigger a Preview (by link click + trigger key) to display the full page without navigating away from the current page.

SneakPeek also packs some power-user features and settings. Just to name a few: • It's ready for video pages like YouTube or Vimeo, displaying the little preview of the video. • It's ready for PDF files. • It automatically detects and displays the best answer from the StackOverflow questions. • It let's you adjust the trigger-key to fit your specific flow. • It let's you adjust the preloading behaviour to fit your needs and internet connection. • It has a theme editing.

Does not work
by Jacob Cole, 2024-07-16

This extension has been really nice but a big flaw is that unless you have sneak peek set to not preload anything, you can't selectively blacklist a site from preloading other content that you don't want preloaded. If it had that, I think it would work perfectly, but until then, the lack of a blacklist really hurts it's potential
