Description

Peek is a browser extension that shows previews for links to files and supported services in web pages. Just hover your mouse over a link, and Peek will display a small popup with an interactive preview of the link's content. Peek can show previews for PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, YouTube video links, audio files, Google Docs, and much more. It uses the browser's built-in rendering features, in combination with the Google Docs Viewer, Microsoft Office Web Viewer, and other third-party embedded viewers to display rich previews. Peek is open source under the GPL license. The code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/corbindavenport/peek

Preview feature does not work at all. Even the example links found in the documentation do not work when hovering your mouse over a link...

I really liked this extension when it worked but now it seems like it doesn't work at all regardless of what website I am on and what link it is.

Worked for about half a second. Chrome freezes when in use. Have to restart my computer.
