Hover Extension

The easiest and most convenient way to navigate through links/websites without leaving your current tab.


Hover’s chrome extension saves your time by letting you view a link’s content or a plain text by just hovering over it without opening it in a new tab.


1. Hover to view a link: Whether you are scrolling through a social media newsfeed, an e-commerce catalog, or even a mere link you have received, Hover lets you view the content of the link without leaving your current tab. Hover over any link for 2 seconds to view the content in a lightweight popup box. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Hover on a link-> Indulge on the content as a pop up-> click on the parent screen when you are done and continue on the same tab.

2. Hover on a selected text to research-> You want to do a quick google look up on a certain text/phrase without leaving your current tab? Stop wasting your time opening a new tab and copy/paste to search. Hover lets you look up the text via a lightweight popup by mere hovering over the text after you select it.

3. Hot Key to research: Press CTRL+SHIFT+H to access the hover pop up to do a quick google search without leaving your current tab.

cj juszczak (ID: 0000002371bd614e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 pretty great extension, but it needs an "options" feature, so we can change the "2 second delay" that is annoying. Let the user change it in E.G. milliseconds 0 (instant) -2000 (2 seconds) Also would be great to be able to change the pop-up window size, and position E.G. be able to drag-resize and have the option to "remember size", and also drag position and have it remember position too. Strangely doesn't work on some websites that other preview extensions DO, but overall this is one of the best :)

Clemens Ratte-Polle (ID: 00000020588ec5f5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/09/2023 nice, but i have to allow everywhere XHR + Frame for Google. No.

Orrin Gray (Orrinpants) (ID: 000000684a15a28b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/15/2023 It's great, sometimes it doesn't work, but I find the loading bar useful in case I don't want the link to hover.

Eric Kassel (ID: 0000002563d4a1a7) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/13/2023 Does what it's supposed to do and does it well. One thing that would make it better is if you could specify a modifier key so that it only displays the preview if you are holding down the Command key (Control for you PC users) while hovering over a link. That would reduce unintentional previews that sometimes occur when your mouse just happens to be over a link.
