Link Revealer: Decode URLs with a Single Hover

'Link Revealer' is a Chrome extension designed to put control back in the user's hands. It reveals the URL of any clickable link when the mouse hovers over it, adding an extra layer of security and awareness to your browsing experience. This tool is especially useful as modern browsers often hide status bars, obscuring where a link will lead. Future enhancements are planned to further enhance the user experience.

Would be nice if we could customize the font in which the link is shown. The current font I do not like.

Nice! I love it!

The extension is quite helpful. However, in my experience with it, it frequently gets stuck somewhere on the screen blocking that portion of the UI. Also, once it gets stuck on the screen it is very difficult to remove it. I wish there was a dedicated bar at the top of chrome or bottom of Chrome which could become invisible as soon as the mouse is removed from the link. Currently, it is very annoying because of the way it gets stuck.
