About HoverLink Preview
📄 Full Description
HoverLink Preview is a lightweight Chrome extension that allows users to instantly preview link content by simply hovering over a URL. It intelligently extracts and displays metadata such as page title, description, and other relevant information without requiring users to open the link in a new tab.
