About Link Gate
Link Gate — Your gatekeeper for external links.
Link Gate adds a safety layer to your browsing by intercepting clicks on external links and showing a preview dialog before you leave the current site. See exactly where a link will take you before deciding to proceed.
How it works:
When you click any link that leads to a different website, Link Gate pauses the navigation and displays a clean overlay showing the destination domain name, the link text you clicked, and the full destination URL. You can then choose to open the link or go back — putting you in full control of your navigation.
Features:
• Intercepts both left-click and middle-click on external links
• Supports modifier keys (Ctrl/Cmd+click, Shift+click) for new-tab behavior
• Works inside iframes and embedded frames
• Handles dynamically loaded links (SPAs, lazy-loaded content)
• Close the dialog with Escape, the backdrop, or the "Go back" button
• Only intercepts cross-origin HTTP/HTTPS links — internal links are never affected
• Lightweight and fast with no unnecessary permissions
• No data collection, no analytics, no tracking
Why Link Gate?
Phishing attacks and deceptive links are everywhere. Link Gate gives you a moment to verify the destination before you visit it, helping you stay safe without slowing you down.
