Features & Capabilities

Quickly peek at your favorite web pages without breaking your flow.

Peek lets you choose 10 web pages to open with a keyboard shortcut, without opening a new tab, and able to close with the escape key.

I use this for:

Translating text
See my Github notifications
Calendar schedule
Check email periodically instead of having it open all the time
Stock or cryptocurrency prices
Slack instances I don't want loaded all the time
Check the weather

Usage

Create up to 10 bookmarks with "peek#" plus the number 0-9 in the title. Eg "My favorite website peek#1".
Use the keyboard shortcut alt+shift plus the number you put in the bookmark title to peek at that URL.
A new minimal window will open with your chosen URL loaded.
Hit the escape key to close the window.

(If no bookmark is configured for an index, Peek will just load about:home.)

TODO

ESC doesn't work sometimes
test on windows/linux
fix window to have a maximum size
add feature to long-press links to peek (in pb mode?)

Is Peek 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.

Peek requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Peek is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
