Google Chrome getting link previews

[Jan]

Google working on link previews in Chrome

Google plans to introduce a "Link Preview" feature that lets users view a small web page popup by hovering their cursor over a link in Chrome, Bleeping Computer reports.

The feature gives users a glance at the content on the web page, letting them decide whether to continue browsing or open the link.

Sounds much like Mini Arc in Arc Browser

Joy more popups.

Do link previews drop cookies

I'm not a programmer of any kind but this sounds like an exploit.

Didn't we have this 10+ years ago in some browser somewhere?

EDIT: maybe I'm thinking of mobile browsers where you can long press a link and the page opens up in a preview type pop-up. Works great until that page has a "please accept our delicious cookie" pop-up and blocks the entire page.

Rather work on a "I don't give a **** about cookies" blocker/accepter that actually works.
