Description

This extension enables you to browse faster online in two ways: preview search results on same page and secondly preview any link from the search result page. How it works: * To perform a search in preview mode, simply select the text and the click on the "search" tooltip button that appears. * To preview a URL, hover over the URL and click on the "preview" tooltip that appears. Features: * !NEW! Automatic hover to preview any URL; choose the hover delay. * !NEW! Works on links that usually break previews including stackoverflow.com * It supports multiple search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex and Baidu * The preview window is resizable and the default size (width and height) of the preview window can be set in the settings pages. * Easily go from preview mode to a new tab page by clicking on the "Open in New Tab" control icon. * Ability to minimize the window or drag it to ensure it does not block important content. * Disable it for specific sites by right-clicking on the browser icon and selecting the "Disable" option while that page is active. The preview may not work on certain pages like Chrome Webstore pages, browser pages (e.g. New Tab), and certain websites managed by enterprise-policy.

Link preview fails on: Rhymezone and Craigslist, even with "Automatic Preview on Hover" and "Force Preview" options enabled. Can it be made to work there?

It works. The main problem is that on Ecosia.org the "Hover" feature doesn't work and the button "Search" doesn't appear. You have to right-click the link and launch the extension from there. Furthermore, you can only choose between Big Techs search engines to make the research. Not exactly what I was looking for when I downloaded your app, but for now I'll stick with it - untill I'll find something better or you'll fix this. In the last case, I'll change my review for the better. Anyway, is the source code available somewhere?

I already have right click set to open links in a new tab, so can't use it..
