  • (2025-02-13) Deepak Mangla: People who want to enable this to all webpages automatically can use this tampermonkey script. Working like a charm for me and browsing has never been better. // ==UserScript== // @name Inject Hoverflow Script // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 1.0 // @description Automatically inject the Hoverflow script into every website's <head> // @match *://*/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; // Create the script element const scriptEl = document.createElement('script'); scriptEl.defer = true; scriptEl.src = 'https://hoverflow.io/js/hoverflow.min.js'; // Append the script element to the <head> const head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; if (head) { head.appendChild(scriptEl); } else { // If no <head> is available, inject into the document element document.documentElement.appendChild(scriptEl); } })();
  • (2024-07-16) Carsten Frentz: Great extension and very useful with the multi-nested functionality. What's even better about Hoverflow is that you can add it to your own website with just 1 line of code. I've added it to my product's documentation website and it made it so much better to read & navigate the docs!
  • (2024-07-16) Shavar J: The best previewer extension I've ever utilized was CoolIris Preview for Firefox which was discontinued when Firefox changed extension protocols sometime around version 54. Any url Previewer Developer interested in making a superior extension should research CoolIris and mimic its functionality. With that said, my previous 5 star rating for Hoverflow was a bit premature. I was overly excited that most of the basics seemed to be covered. However, after spending some time with it there are some high priority issues that should be addressed for usability sake. here's what im seeing: Version 1.2.5 overall: - no persistent activation for selected websites domains. - unable to manually move frame window once opened (want to move it, not resize it) - obviously the extension should work for any/every url but it doesnt, - reloading the webpage removes activation for the extension?!?! - unable to view frame options after 1st install regardless of option activation (no bypass xframe option) example: unable to view options to pin frame or open in tab, etc. cnet.com https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/credit-cards/advice/is-this-the-end-of-plastic-visas-new-technology-could-render-physical-cards-obsolete/ - frame doesnt open in consistent location (right, left, above, below) for links in the same vicinity. Best practice is generally to the left or right of the link - frames opening too close to the hovered link - some links unable to connect (ex. businesswire.com) nytimes.com - frames do not work for entire nytimes.com - linked nytimes article from front page after selection does not enable persistent activation (nytimes domain) Washingtonpost.com - frames work for most of the site, some links unable to connect Ultimately, it does provide instant preview windows for some sites. Depending on your website choices, your mileage may vary. Im not sure how active this developer is in terms of maintaining/improving on the extension, but it certainly needs work. I have a lot of UX knowledge I could share for free to help improve the project if desired. I forwarded my email to the developer so we'll see what happens.

  • (2024-01-26) Gábor Klement: It does not matter if I check "Always enable here", it always turn off after page refresh. I use Sidekick browser but I had never had issues with extensions. Amazing extension by the way :) +1 for "Enable on all sites by default" option +1 for "key + hover" option"
  • (2023-10-29) Niraj Chaudhari: Please provide enable on "ALL Sites" option, it doesn't make sense to click on hoverflow icon everytime I visit some new website while searching on web.

  • (2023-03-11) eric L: Semble bien en version pro mais beaucoup trop chère, ce n'est qu'un petit utilitaire... Et uniquement sur abonnement en plus. La version gratuite n'offre pas le pin indispensable pour moi, je désactive et regarderai de temps en temps si le tarif revient dans du raisonnable

  • (2023-02-04) Rong Huang: Love it! But still room for improvement: more customizable config options (e.g. the size of the pop-up window can be customized, always too small for me ...... and can be permanently enabled at certain URLs based on domain (regex would be best!) rules.
