About
Smart Hover Reader brings you instant, on-hover summaries of news articles. No need to click through, no pop-ups, no clutter. Simply move your cursor over any headline on your favorite news sites and let our AI deliver: • **One-sentence answers for clickbait.** Skip the fluff and get straight to the point. • **Up to three concise bullet points** for everything else, get the gist in seconds. • **Language-aware**: summaries match the article’s language (Croatian, English, etc.). • **Lightweight & private**: runs entirely in your browser; no data is stored on our servers. • **Customizable**: choose which websites to activate it on via the toolbar popup. **How it works** 1. Hover over a link on any whitelisted news site. 2. A loading indicator appears, then an AI-generated summary pops up. 3. Move off the link (or the tooltip) and it gracefully disappears. **Why you’ll love it** - Save time, skim dozens of headlines in half the time. - Defeat clickbait, get real answers, not hype. - Keep focused, no more jumping back and forth tabs.
