About

Have you ever received a new message on X and wanted to read the whole thing, without marking it as "read" in the message thread? Now you can! 🎉

With this extension, just go to the Messages page on X, then hover your mouse over each message box. The most recent message in the thread will appear to the right of the box.

Features
🔎 Hover over messages to read the most recent one
✨ Long messages adjust to fit on the page

🦕 Heads up
This extension can only read the text already loaded on the page for the preview that X shows you. It can't look back to previous messages before the most recent one.

🤔 Have a question? Want to report a bug or just brainstorm new features? Shoot me a message on X at @WillBraunDev.
