Features & Capabilities

Open in Popup Window is a lightweight Chrome extension that enhances browsing by allowing you to preview links and images in a small popup window directly at your cursor position, without navigating away from the current page. It integrates seamlessly into the context menu and supports opening popups via Shift + Click, drag-and-drop, or keyboard hotkeys.

Key features include customizable popup size and position, automatic reopening of tabs as popups, and privacy-focused design with no data collection. This tool is perfect for quick previews akin to Safari Link Preview or Arc Peek, overcoming common limitations like CORS that affect iframe-based solutions. Fully open source and easy to use, it improves your web experience by keeping your focus intact while checking content.

by Fi*****, 2025-11-23

Thank you so much! This is a feature that i really missed from Arc. It works very well and I like how minimal it is and that I can use the shift click shortcut

Is Open in Popup Window Safe?

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.

Open in Popup Window requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
