Sneak Peek

Sneak Peek is an incredible tool that allows you to preview specific parts of hyperlink targets by hovering over them. This feature is made possible by the use of Sneak Peek scripts, which are small text files that can be downloaded from the web to specify which part of the hyperlink target is previewed and on which pages it works.

With Sneak Peek, you can preview information directly from link targets on a webpage. What sets this extension apart from other preview extensions like Cooliris is that it does not show previews on all links, and it only shows a preview of the specific part of the link target you want to preview. This is achieved through the use of Sneak Peek Scripts, which define precisely which part of the link target you want to preview and on which pages you want to see the preview.

The extension was created to generalize an old Greasemonkey script that allowed users to preview the first post in a thread by hovering over links in the Joel on Software message boards. After realizing how useful the tool was, the creator expanded it to work on other message boards and websites. Although it was primarily made for message boards, it can be used to preview any specific part of a link target on any website.

Sneak Peek has become a go-to tool for previewing comments on blog pages by simply hovering over the comments link. It is incredibly easy to use and does not require any technical knowledge to set up. To use the extension, all you need is Firefox 3.0 – 3.0.*.

Overall, Sneak Peek is an excellent option for anyone who wants to preview specific parts of hyperlink targets without having to leave the current webpage. It is a must-have tool for anyone who wants to optimize their browsing experience and save time.
