## Description

Peek Pop is a lightweight, open-source Chrome extension that lets you preview, search, and save pages for later reading. It supports multiple trigger methods (double-click, hover, drag, click, hold) and flexible popup controls, including keyboard shortcuts and a 'send back' option. It also supports cross-origin previews without requiring login and can show previews in incognito mode.

Key features include domain-scoped popup windows with customizable size, blur, and position, a link collection workflow, image search, a robust blacklist (regex, wildcard, or plain text), link indicators, and quick actions like copying URLs or sending pages back to your browser. It emphasizes fast, private, and open-source browsing.
