Feedly Preview Window

Open Feedly Links in a Preview Window using shortcut key

Feedly Preview Window is a Chrome extension designed for power Feedly users seeking a better reading workflow. Instead of opening articles in a focused tab, you can press a customizable shortcut (default: ';') to open them in a single dedicated preview window. This approach keeps your reading organized and efficient, especially if you use large or multiple monitors, by providing a full "reading pane" for articles.

The extension builds upon Aaron Saray's open-sourced Feedly background tab extension, improving it with minimal code changes for enhanced usability. Users can easily modify the shortcut key through the options page to suit their preferences, making the article preview process both flexible and intuitive.

Awesome addon. But is there a way for it to open the new tab in the new window in the background? For example, if I am already watching a video on the right, I wish I could still go through my feeds on the left, opening background tabs on the right pane while keeping the video in focus.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Feedly Preview Window requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Feedly Preview Window has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
