Description from store
The easiest and most convenient way to navigate through links/websites without leaving your current tab.
Hover’s chrome extension saves your time by letting you view a link’s content or a plain text by just hovering over it without opening it in a new tab.
1. Hover to view a link: Whether you are scrolling through a social media newsfeed, an e-commerce catalog, or even a mere link you have received, Hover lets you view the content of the link without leaving your current tab. Hover over any link for 2 seconds to view the content in a lightweight popup box. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Hover on a link-> Indulge on the content as a pop up-> click on the parent screen when you are done and continue on the same tab.
2. Hover on a selected text to research-> You want to do a quick google look up on a certain text/phrase without leaving your current tab? Stop wasting your time opening a new tab and copy/paste to search. Hover lets you look up the text via a lightweight popup by mere hovering over the text after you select it.
3. Hot Key to research: Press CTRL+SHIFT+H to access the hover pop up to do a quick google search without leaving your current tab.

- (2023-10-08) Millionaire: It actually works
- (2023-09-06) cj juszczak: pretty great extension, but it needs an "options" feature, so we can change the "2 second delay" that is annoying. Let the user change it in E.G. milliseconds 0 (instant) -2000 (2 seconds) Also would be great to be able to change the pop-up window size, and position E.G. be able to drag-resize and have the option to "remember size", and also drag position and have it remember position too. Strangely doesn't work on some websites that other preview extensions DO, but overall this is one of the best :)
- (2023-06-09) Clemens Ratte-Polle: nice, but i have to allow everywhere XHR + Frame for Google. No.
- (2023-03-15) Orrin Gray (Orrinpants): It's great, sometimes it doesn't work, but I find the loading bar useful in case I don't want the link to hover.
- (2023-03-13) Eric Kassel: Does what it's supposed to do and does it well. One thing that would make it better is if you could specify a modifier key so that it only displays the preview if you are holding down the Command key (Control for you PC users) while hovering over a link. That would reduce unintentional previews that sometimes occur when your mouse just happens to be over a link.
- (2023-03-08) tj y: would be better to support set trigger key. I mean only when I hold alt key, the hover to link will trigger popup
- (2023-02-19) Paul B.: Very nice. Some ideas for improvement: A big help would be for the popup to disappear on loss of focus instead of having to click it away. An [X} to close it so one doesn't have to click on the live background page. Incorporating a reader view so only article text would show would be super helpful. An override key to prevent it from taking effect would be good, or perhaps, with opposing logic, a key to make it take effect. Thanks.
- (2022-11-07) Hakan Özlen: Great extension! Thanks!
- (2022-10-31) TwoBeNo.0 Amadues: Excellent work! It would be nice to add some Settings to adjust the hover time
- (2022-09-16) Vinoo Samuel: Excellent. Wish there was an option to use a shortcut button though. On some websites, having no control over the popup becomes an annoyance..
- (2022-08-27) SOMRIK SADHUKHAN: It works fine but takes a little bit time time to load. it should be more faster and also give a option to resize pop up window
- (2022-07-02) 张金华: simple and nice
- (2022-06-22) rodrigo joordan torres lopez: me encanto, falta mucho por mejorar, pero es una gran extension
- (2022-05-31) Andrew Robertson: I really like the app, it's clean and does what it says. Great! Although the 2 second delay causes problems. We do not have to hover over a link whilst reading what is around the link, then the popup opens and covers your screen hiding everything so you need to close the popup to continue reading the previous webpage. We all do it, but it would be great to have a little control over the popup. Ever since EzLinkPreview was removed I have been looking for something similar, and this is the closest. It would be nice to see a few changes though. 1. Hovering over a link could show a little icon, i.e. the Hover 'H' logo, so the user can decide if they want to click the icon to open the popup screen. 2. Or a setting of a number of seconds before the popup screen takes over the screen? 3. The popup screen is a little large, is it possible to allow users to resize it according to their requirements? 4. Can the popup be fixed and the user needs to close the popup by clicking the Close button in the top right corner? 5. Points 3 and 4 would allow more than one popup on the screen, allowing the user to assess between the 2 or more popups and how to proceed. Or a popup within the popup? 6. Is it possible to read pdf's in the popup? It would save a lot of time to not have to download each pdf and wait for your pdf reader to open it. As said, I have looked at many apps trying to do the same. Hover does what I need so far, and it would be great to see a few updates. Many thanks for your work!
- (2022-04-03) M K: slow (3~5 seconds for loading) , huge window (I won't call it a "preview") and not actually convenient (you need to manually close the window after it pops up).
- (2022-02-21) Mohammed Azeem: Just wish there was shortcut and shortcut only options.
- (2022-02-13) Pat MySecret: Better than the last 2 similar extensions I tried. I like the load up bar, but this still doesn't seem as quick as an extension I used in the past, and I'm trying to find it again.
- (2021-12-02) Ismael Kedir (Ismael KD): Finally! I can now avoid infusing my browser history with word lookups. Well-built and easy-to-use 👏
