It's very useful.

However, the preview window is currently displayed in the same tab, so it's a bit inconvenient that it hides the contents of the main screen.

It would be even more useful if there was a function to pop out the preview window as a separate window.

Pretty good, but extremely frustrating activation method. Please, make the usual right-click menu item or something else, but less distracting!

Very handy to review a long list of links.

Note: the preview pops-up only moving the mouse over the little icon.

Once appeared on the side, it will update the content hoovering on a different link.

Not every site will work (by CSP or x-forward headers), it's works.

It's a bit minimalist, but if could add keyboard shortcuts/or click on the icon instead of just hovering it, it would be much better.

Clunky, unpretty, but technically works !

it does work. though instead of a preview, it shows you the fully functioning whole page of the link.

Much better than other similar add-ons. The side preview stays open, can be pinned. I've been using it for a while and it worked on any website.

HUGE flaw though : the panel opens on top of the webpage you're browsing. Hiding it totally. Even if you have multiple screens, no matter what : your current browsing session is hidden... behind the panel opened by Simple Link Preview.

So... in a nutshell : great extension. But unusable because it does not forces the webpage to change its aspect to adapt to the fact that the space is now shared with another webpage preview.

Too bad :/ And sadly there's no proper alternative.
Hope the dev will work on that and find a way to improve it.

Nearly perfect for my usage.
Just annoying when accidentaly hovering link.
I made a version of this module with the need to click the icon to open preview.
I'm not a dev so don't expect more.

Doesnt do anything, just shows the preview windows but EMPTY. no matter if its the only extension installed.

Simple Link Preview was working great, but it stopped working after I upgraded to FireFox 106.0 (64-bit)* under Windows 10 Pro 21H1. No SLP icon appears when I hover over any URL.

Any suggestions? Any known conflicts with other FF extensions?

*I don't recall my previous FF version.

Thanks!

Update 11/18/2022 -- SLP still not working with latest FF 107.0 (64-bit) under Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Removed and re-added SLP, but no icon appears when I hover over any URL.

preview on a key press would be great boost to this plugin.

It's really good, but I hope we can close the preview window instantly by clicking outside of it.

This is nearly perfect.Except few missing thing: Give a choice to activate by clicking instead of hovering. Because ,you don't realize you hover on. And it opens links without wishing. I live this too much. This is boring. I changed this behavior from .js file.OK now.And I couldn't see the icon easily.Because it is blue.Generally pages with links are all blue. I made border thicker and pink in css file. I changed frame size etc. Ok. It is still as simple as possible. But problem I had to set up "xpinstall.signatures.required" choice as "false" to be able to use this modification in firefox. Better you give us these preferences. Thanks as a result.

Please help so I can raise the star rating. I don't know why but sometimes it works instantly, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Anybody know? I wish instead of clicking on that icon, after a few seconds of hovering it just automatically previewed. I was really hoping it would work on the links in the history menu too. Also wish it would open in a floating window, outside of the firefox window.

Fine! It works like an old cool-preview!

"Open in new tab" funktioniert nicht!

Great add-on! But limited customizability is disappointing.
1. Let user change time before the icon appears.
2. Add "Hold the Alt key while clicking a link" to preview links.
3. Add option to zoom in/out of previewed page.
4. Remember zoom factor and window size for specific domains.
5. Hide previewed page instantly, when clicking outside of it.

this is exactly what I want, super helpful when browsing tons of link pages. The only drawback is that it seems the author stops maintaining it.

I uninstalled it because it was not added to the history.

this would be 5/5 if there was an option to add your own custom key modifier in addition to mouse hovering for the link to preview. for example: mouse hovers over link, nothing happens... i press and hold control and then hover over a link, a preview displays!

Hey, that add-on I had until FF < V69. Now installed again on all my devices!
THANKS to the developer Lecron!

I like it a lot. Perhaps a few settings for us fiddle with please.

az ötlet jó, de egy kis személyre szabás nagyon kellene
