About
Web View – Link Previewer lets you instantly preview any webpage linked on a site—without clicking or losing your place. Simply hover over any hyperlink or linked image, and a small preview bubble appears beside it. Click the bubble to open a floating preview window showing the actual content of the linked page—right where you are. Designed for speed, safety, and clarity, the preview window is fully rendered. You can safely inspect links without distractions or risk. Advanced controls let you resize the preview for better readability, take a quick screenshot, split the page into 2 views, or manually close it. Once you move your cursor to any other link on original page (and if not splitted), the preview disappears seamlessly. What’s New: 🫧 Preview Bubble – On hover, a subtle preview bubble appears beside the link instead of launching the preview directly. 🖱️ Click to Preview – Click the bubble to launch a floating, real-time preview window. 🔧 Preview Controls – Use built-in buttons to: 🔍 Enlarge the preview window for better readability 🖥️ Split view mode is available — compare side by side for better clarity 🔗 Open external link in split view for side-by-side access 📸 Capture a screenshot of the preview ❌ Manually close the preview Key Features: 🔗 Hover over any link or image to activate preview bubble 🪟 Real-time, preview on demand 🧭 Works across most websites automatically 🧊 Minimalist design for smooth, distraction-free use 📚 Great for researchers, readers, and multitaskers Web View – Link Previewer is ideal for anyone who needs to check links efficiently without disrupting their browsing flow.
