About Open in Popup Window
This tiny and lightweight extension provides ability to quickly preview links without leaving the current page context. It adds entry in context menu of links, and when clicked, opens new small window at cursor position, with no tab bar and address bar.
This extension is intended to be used as an analogue of Safari Link Preview, Arc Peek or Zen Glance. It's a great way to preview links, which works everywhere and is not affected by the CORS problem like extensions which are using iframe element for link previewing. It is built with best performance in mind and doesn't slow down your browser.
Features:
● Open images, search or translate selected text in popup window
● Close popup window when regular window regains focus
● Configurable popup height, width and default position on the screen
● Automatically reopen new single tab windows and successive tabs as popup windows
● Remember preferred popup size on manual resize
● Advanced image viewer with GIF playback control
● Option to reuse already open popup for split view usage
● Customisable keyboard hotkeys
Additional ways to open popup window:
● Modifier key + left click (possible options: Shift / Ctrl / Alt / Meta)
● Double press modifier key
● Drag and drop on empty space
● Long mouse button click (Left / Middle / Right)
● Click on toolbar icon (Search / Open current page in popup)
⚠️ If "Open by drag" and "Shift+click to open" options are not working, or the popup window always gets positioned in the top left corner disregarding the settings, please make sure you gave extension permission to run on every page, and that current page is not restricted from access by extensions (for example, chrome://* pages)
