About

Glance lets you preview any link in a floating window — without losing your place.

Just Shift-click a link. A clean preview pops up over the page. Done reading?
Press Esc, click outside, or click away — you're right back where you were, with
your original tab untouched.

No more opening ten tabs to check ten links. No more losing your scroll position.

FEATURES
• Shift-click to peek — preview any link in a floating card over the current page.
• Stays out of your way — close instantly with Esc, a click on the backdrop, or by
  clicking another window.
• Works on stubborn sites — if a site blocks embedding, Glance automatically opens the preview in a separate popup window instead, so the peek still works.
• Your tab is never touched — your scroll position and open tabs stay exactly as
  they were.
• Pick your trigger — prefer Alt-click or Ctrl/Cmd-click? Switch the modifier key
  in Options.
• Size it your way — set the preview window's width and height in Options.

PRIVACY
Glance collects nothing. It stores only your own preferences (which key triggers a peek and your preferred window size) on your device. It never records the links you preview, never reads page content, and never sends anything off your browser.
