Pros on reddit don't click, they hover. This works for all images including gifs but not gfycat gifs. That's what this extension is here to solve until hoverzoom officially supports gfycat. When you hover with your mouse over a gfycat link on reddit you'll see the video popup and play. Much like HoverZoom for a gif.

I recommend you test it out at http://www.reddit.com/domain/gfycat.com

User reviews

It doesn't account for where the link you're hoverzooming is on the page. If it's at the bottom you won't be able to see much of the gfy because it only pops up below the mouse.
