The extension is good, but charging for link previews is downright ridiculous. The 'free' plan has a limit of 100 previews, and after that, you have to pay. I understand putting AI features behind a paywall, but link previews should be free.

All this extension needed to be was what it says on the box; preview links without opening the tab. Instead, MaxFocus adds in unnecessary bloat like themes, a search bar(???), AI features and puts it all into a box covered in unnecessarily expensive wrapping paper. (But it's always on sale, so don't worry! You're saving money!)

The bloat makes this not worth installing.

I can't express enough how impressive this extension is! It's exceptionally useful and remarkably intuitive. The design is both sophisticated and minimalist, making it a delight to use.

This link preview plugin has significantly enhanced my browsing experience! It saves me a lot of time by eliminating the need to click into pages, making it truly click-and-go. For those who frequently need to quickly preview search results, this is a very practical tool. I recommend it to users who also seek an efficient browsing experience!

插件很好用，用起来很有arc的感觉，但是bilibili用的时候有bug，预览的时候会自动全屏，请尽快修复

I primarily use this app for the link preview function. This helps me a lot when I do research, as I often found myself opening numerous tabs and clicking through them. This leads to a lot of clutter as I also forget to close them afterwards. With link preview, I get to see the page first to see if it is worthwhile. If it is, then I open it and maybe pin it. This has saved me a lot of time and I appreciate it. Thanks, developers.

I can't speak much on the AI functions as I don't use it very much because I already have other paid extensions that do the same thing. However, it does seem competitive with offerings from similar extensions such as TinaMind. What would be a good future feature is to add image generation capabilities as well, and have a prompting library.

讓我從 Arc 瀏覽器再次回歸的神級擴充功能，顏值高而且反應迅速。
還提供永久授權版，不會被月費綁死又能支持開發者，大力推薦。

The link preview is amazing -- sort of overwhelmed with all the other stuff, but the link preview alone feels like a missing feature of wikipedia etc, and I feel stifled when I use a machine that isn't running it.

I reported two problems three months ago, and they're still not resolved as of version 0.4.10:
1. If you use it to preview an online PDF document and click the URL, it will open Google instead of the PDF.
2. Pages previewed by MaxFocus will not go into browser history, please provide an option to make it also appear in browser history.

It's really cool to be able to open articles without leaving Feedly, or open links without leaving Reddit, watch videos on youtube without going back and forth. Keep in mind that the free version is 50 previews per day. But the pro version can be paid for life and is cheap.

Haven't been able to use a browser without installing this first.

Yeah... paywalling basic functionality is not too great. I'm also sick of every single piece of software pushing some kind of AI, if I see that I'm even more tempted to uninstall just because of that...

Edit: the fake reviews on their site also don't make me like them more... (https://maxfoc.us/welcome/?step=4&isPayment=1&plan=pro_lifetime_a)

Locking features behind a paywall, on a browser extension...?

You can only open 25 links if you don't want to buy the cheapest plan for $15.90. And even if you pay, those searches won't have the AI features they are talking about.

For AI features you need to buy their pro plan, which is supposedly $49.90! This is a joke!

Бесплатная версия совсем жлобская.

Uninstalled.

"You've reached your daily limit of 10 link previews. Upgrade to PRO to get unlimited previews and more features"

Great add-on, but unfortunately caps daily usage unless you upgrade to PRO.

Locking premium features behind a paywall is one thing but locking basic features behind them when they weren't locked in previous versions of the extension is unfortunate.

Limited time of usage without upgrade?

I thought this upgrade ONLY for use AI Summaries or some customizations?

If so, it's useless. :/

Just discovered via article in ComputerWorld.

Wish i had heard of it before!

Kudos!

Can't wait to see app implemented on Android!

amazing app! suggestion: add "drag" the link to trigger it. and I found some not perfect
1.cant login github inside popup in discord.
2. in some page like www.ithome.com, the page will change when trigger, is it possible to keep the page?


updated:
thanks your quickly updated and response. And I thought you should add a clear NOTICED that preview function is also need to buy or subscribe, not only the settings label with "PRO". Yeah, I hope add free/lifetime version without AI or some advanced functions.

Wow, great ideas and it's works seamlessly!!

Just thought about that and tried a search then found it!!

So magical!

And it's also a bit surprising for me why someone hasn't done it sooner with an idea like this..
I'm so lucky I came across it when I was just thinking about it x)

Good addon, only two things that annoy me badly.
1. The background blur when you hover over the module. I would love to be able to turn that off. It is so distracting. Also it makes every dark page brighter, which negates darkmodes.
2. Not sure what this AI input field is for. It feels very much out of place and forced into this addon. Just to sell AI. It would be a much cleaner functionality without it. It also makes it feel super sketchy. Reminds me of the crypto times where crypto was put in everything and most of it turned out to be scams. It has the same feel to it.
