GLYDE Preview

About

Preview links in-place without leaving your page. Eliminate tab clutter, keep your focus sharp, and streamline your research with GLYDE Preview.

Tired of constantly opening new tabs just to check a link, only to lose your place on the page you were reading? GLYDE Preview solves this by letting you preview any link instantly inside your browser's side panel. 

With a simple hotkey and click, you can load any link in a side-by-side view without leaving your active tab. Keep your workspace clean, your focus undivided, and your research organized.

*** HOW TO USE IT ***
1. Hold Alt + Shift (Option + Shift on macOS).
2. Click any link on a webpage.
3. The browser side panel will slide open automatically, loading the link inside an accordion section.

*** KEY FEATURES ***

* In-Place Previews: Load pages inside a side panel accordion without losing your scroll position or context on the main page.
* Multi-Preview Accordion: Keep up to 3 live, fully scrollable previews open at the same time. Expand, collapse, or re-order your focus as you work.
* Smart Frame Loading: Uses advanced Manifest V3 network request handling to bypass restrictive frame-blocking headers (like X-Frame-Options), allowing you to preview more websites than traditional embedding tools.
* Seamless Tab Handoff: Love what you see? Click the "Open in new tab" icon on any preview section to open it fully in a new browser tab.
* On-Demand Access: Click the extension icon in your toolbar to open or close the side panel at any time.
* Clean & Secure: Runs entirely locally. No remote code, no tracking, and no data collection.

*** PERFECT FOR ***
* Researchers comparing articles, search results, or documents.
* Recruiters scanning candidate profiles, resumes, or portfolios.
* Developers checking documentation or API links.
* Anyone looking to eliminate tab clutter and stay focused.
