Tooltipster has always caused performance issues. Creating a popup solution that doesn't do any per-processing would theroretcially allow Peek to support an unlimited amount of previews.

• We could only process a link when the user hovers over it, using mouseenter: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mouseenter
• The preview and other Peek DOM elements could be destroyed on mouseleave, keeping pages from becoming bogged down with previews.

Your promo at least in the search listing says with a hover of my mouse I can preview audio files. I add the extension and it says it can preview pdfs docs etc. Don’t see where it says it can preview audio files which is what I need for my work.

Demo link on this page: https://chriscoyier.net/2023/05/16/cross-posting/

The preview in Peek starts at the beginning, even though the URL has a timestamp.

A link to just https://imgur.com/ shows a popup preview, it should only appear for post links.

It's been suggested by a few people, including here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cagxl3/i_made_an_extension_that_shows_previews_for_file/et9e61c/

Peek should have an option, probably enabled by default, to hide previews when the browser is in a data saver or metered connection mode. It can still display a popup preview, but with text explaining the feature and a link to settings to turn it off. The option could probably just be a checkbox in the settings page.

Hi, do I understand correctly this is not intended to work universally with links? If you allowed for some simple customization of the window size, the mechanism for triggering maybe, and whether to open links clicked within inside or in a new tab etc, and obviously allowed universal link support, you could easily have a very competent and minimalist/sleeker alternative to ezlinkpreview, which has 1,000 options and features but no way to make it engage upon simply hovering.

Please add Firefox support

Hi,

I have noticed that the latest version available on AMO is 3.0, whereas the latest version available on GitHub is 3.1. Could you update the AMO version to 3.1?

If an image is wrapped in a link to itself, it shouldn't have a preview generated.

Hi Corbin
This is excellent work - haven't seen anything like it!
I have a few suggestions which I'll add separately. I'm using latest Google Chrome.

The preview window has options for "pop out" in the Google preview and "open in new window" in the MS preview. These are currently blocked (or at least they are for me?).

It would be really useful to allow these links to open up the previews in a new page. Currently I use the "Docs Online Viewer" extension for this. Or I use Office editing for docs to edit in the browser.

Letting the links open to a full page would do away with the need for opening up external apps, or adding additional extensions.

Peek should check if the browser supports a given media format, and only display the preview if it does, or show an error message. Also need to check if there are any media containers missing from the supported list.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/Audio_and_video_delivery

The Google Docs and Office Online viewers don't support OD, but this might work: https://webodf.org/start/

• Nothing is loaded until a link is actually hovered over
• No analytics or other personal data are collected
• Links are parsed using DOMPurify to prevent XSS attacks
• Most previews are rendered locally

Reported via Discord, several MP3s on the page are not playing audio by default.

Hi Corbin,
Great job on the extension, really helps me out sometimes.
There is this one weird issue, though, which happens when I try to log into my Internet Banking system (in Russian, https://ibank.belinvestbank.by/signin). As you can see, one of the tabs in the #signin element has a PDF, which Peek picks up. Whenever I disable Peek I can login fine, and enabling it gives me an "incorrect username and password" error.
Any thoughts? Maybe, a per-URL blocklist for Peek could be implemented?

Title should be something like Peek - Preview links to PDFs, Office files, and more for better discoverability.

It's common for sites to create links to an image wrapped around an image tag. With Peek installed, this means rolling over an image that links to itself will show the same image in a popup. Not sure what the best approach is, maybe a setting for turning off image previews that are inside links to images?

It would be nice to have a "suspend for this site" or "temporary disable" in the options. Otherwise, great tool!

Hi, is it possible to add a setting to make Peek's pop-up window bigger? Whether it's fit-to-screen, scaled, or fixed sizes, any one would be appreciated. It's currently a bit hard to see previews of documents and pdfs, etc. in the small window.

Thanks!

Peek uses the browser's built-in PDF viewer, but it could be useful to add a setting for more viewers. Peek could have options like:

• The built-in viewer
• Google Docs (demo)
• Mozilla PDF.js (more info)

There might be others too? Microsoft's Office viewer doesn't seem to support PDFs. There should also be a warning that PDFs that require authentication to view won't work with a custom viewer.

Me again

For accessibility reasons I often have custom zooms on my webpages.

I've noticed in Chrome (latest) that this also alters the size of the preview window.

Ideally being able to resize the window would be perfect.

But even keeping the pop up at the 100% size regardless of page zoom would be great.

Thanks

Had to turn off the bot for creating GitHub issues from emails due to spam, but the UI still needs to be removed.

In this format: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v087su

Converting them to comment format and then using the existing Reddit embed code might be enough: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catloaf/comments/v087su/i_caught_the_loaf_mid_yawn/

A display delay (something like 300ms) would be a great option (and default) to add in order to avoid undesired previews. You can see a similar feature with the Imagus extension.

It would be useful if Peek had a button on media previews that would open the given URL in VLC Media Player. On non-media previews the button should be hidden.

VLC should have a vlc:// URL scheme that can be used to open the player with the given file. It should be tested to work on all platforms though.

Make "Powered by peek" text optional as setting. Maybe remove it for a co-fi.

When trying to get previews from http pages there ist no preview but "Peek cannot preview this link because it is served over an insecure connection." Tried with links from the suggested Getting Started page of peek: http://www.google.com/search?as_q=sample&as_filetype=doc

A system I use regularly allows users to upload attachments.
The hyperlinks to these attachments have the file extension in the link TEXT, not the URL.

URL example "https://***.com/fileStoreViewer.ashx?FileID=0d47ca6a-6101-495b-a21f-53190e915c4f&CheckID=1287"
Link text example "worddocument.docx"

Would it be possible to either
a) Run pattern matching on the link TEXT (to detect the file extension) as well as the URL
b) Add a right-click menu option to attempt to preview any non-recognised link?

Many thanks!

You are about to read some bad English. and I am really sorry about it. I am not a native English speaker.

Hey corbin,
I have a feature request I want peek to work on reddit comment links too

I want to request a feature that enables me to press or hover the reddit comment links and read all the comments on the same page
I am a lazy person..and I am a reddit addict also and I really don't like pressing comments links every damn time to see the damn comments on another tab.

It is a similar feature like Image Expando, Video Expando, Text Expando

Here I made a Image Example with a little help of Photoshop it's not really that good but still you can know what I am talking about http://i.imgur.com/zU8L1z3.png

SO Dev Plz think about this I Think 80 To 90% Of Users Will Really Like This Feature

And it will save their lots of time Just think about it

Just Think About It.
thanx for reading

Hi, I tried installing Peek 3.0 from the Chrome Web Store, 2.2.1 from the Opera Add-ons site, and 3.1 in developer mode downloaded directly from GitHub but I can't get any of them to work.

2.2.1 and 3.0 don't give me any errors, but 3.1 gives me this error on the chrome://extensions page:

I'm on W10 Enterprise x64 Version 2004 and Opera version 66.0.3515.72.

Hello,
I would appreciate some indication where the preview- able files are on the web page. Currently you are informed at the peek icon how many files can be previewed but then you proverbially have to try all links to find these previews - this is not very comfortable to say the least.

Thanks.
Marquu

New screenshots for the extensions page are needed, especially for Firefox (which currently uses a Chrome screenshot).
