About Floatlink: Floating Link Previews

Every link, one click away. Floatlink opens links in a floating window right over the page you're on. Hold Alt and click any link: the page appears in a clean card, your current page waits dimmed behind it, and one press of Esc brings you right back. No new tabs, no lost place, no tab bar turning into a to-do list. READ WITHOUT LEAVING • Alt+click any link (or right-click › Open in Floatlink) to open it in a floating window • Scroll, read, click and sign in, all inside the window • Esc or click outside to close it; Alt+Shift+E to keep it as a full tab • Copy the link with one click WORKS WHERE OTHER PREVIEWS DON'T Floatlink is built for real-world sites, not just simple articles. You stay signed in, and complex web apps, cloud consoles and dashboards keep working inside the window, including their menus, navigation and sign-in redirects. MAKE IT YOURS • Choose your trigger key: Alt, Ctrl, Shift or Super • Set the window's width and height, with a live preview • Turn blur, animations and click-outside-to-close on or off • Switch Floatlink off for any site with one toggle • Follows your light or dark theme automatically PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. No data collected. Everything happens in your browser. Floatlink only changes how a page loads while you're previewing it, only for that page, and undoes it the moment you close the window. LIGHT AS A FEATHER The preview code loads only when you use it and cleans up completely when you close it, so pages you just browse aren't slowed down. Tip: on Linux, some desktops use Alt+click to move windows. If Alt+click does nothing, pick another key in the Floatlink popup.
