Reviews of hover:
It's great, sometimes it doesn't work, but I find the loading bar useful in case I don't want the link to hover.
Does what it's supposed to do and does it well. One thing that would make it better is if you could specify a modifier key so that it only displays the preview if you are holding down the Command key (Control for you PC users) while hovering over a link. That would reduce unintentional previews that sometimes occur when your mouse just happens to be over a link.
Very nice. Some ideas for improvement: A big help would be for the popup to disappear on loss of focus instead of having to click it away. An [X} to close it so one doesn't have to click on the live background page. Incorporating a reader view so only article text would show would be super helpful. An override key to prevent it from taking effect would be good, or perhaps, with opposing logic, a key to make it take effect. Thanks.
