This extension shows the contents of a Tweet when hovering over a link to a Tweet.
HoverTweet displays the contents of a tweet when you hover your mouse over a link to it. Similar in concept to HoverZoom/Imagus, but for tweets instead of images. You can hold "control" to lock the popup and click links within tweets.
HoverTweet has no evil tracking nonsense. It is open source, with the code available at:

- (2016-05-25) Will Reed: It's a great bonus for Reddit but it tends to grab the wrong tweet in a chain. I also with it displayed pics/vids in it too. Otherwise I love it.
- (2015-03-07) Meatwrist: I browse Reddit a lot, and this extension makes it less of a pain to view tweets by players/writers/etc. The developer seems to be very active and receptive as well, which is always a plus!
