About Link Previewer

Link Previewer lets you peek 🔎 into web pages without ever leaving your current tab. Key Features: - *Multitasking*: Interact with your main page and the preview window at the same time. - *Fewer Tabs*: Comb through search results in one tab! While Link Preview is open, clicking links in the parent page updates the preview window instead of opening a new tab! - *Simply Performant*: As lightweight as possible, zero bloat 🚫 No Analytics 📝, No ADs 🤮, No AI Summary 🤖 I believe software should be free and benefit society. This project will forever be Open Source ✅ Feel free to check out the source code; and better yet, contribute to the project! Github Page: https://github.com/Adam-Yung/link-previewer
