Reviews of link revealer:
Still works, gets the job done, only thing is that sometimes the tooltip keep showing after moving the pointer away and the external url icon is broken (just shows a square )
Would be nice if we could customize the font in which the link is shown. The current font I do not like.
Nice! I love it!
The extension is quite helpful. However, in my experience with it, it frequently gets stuck somewhere on the screen blocking that portion of the UI. Also, once it gets stuck on the screen it is very difficult to remove it. I wish there was a dedicated bar at the top of chrome or bottom of Chrome which could become invisible as soon as the mouse is removed from the link. Currently, it is very annoying because of the way it gets stuck.
This extension does exactly what I need it to do and that is highlight high level domains of a link to prevent possible spoofing on web pages. A great product! Thank you very much.
Chrome URL preview became buggy on my extended monitor. I didn't realise how much I relied on the preview until it wasn't there. But this little extension has returned it reliably on both monitors with the added bonus of having the display in my line of sight, as well as the domain highlighted (in choice of custom colour). You just made my day!
Failed the 1st test.
Does what it says which is perfectly fine but wondering if you couldn't add a feature to indicate if the link has been followed too? The reason I'm looking for this function is that links originate now from many things other than basic text and thusly have no indication of A) Being a link to follow and B) Indicating if that link has been followed already or not.
Does not show properly utf8 (cyrillic) urls.
it does not reveal what bit ly adress is going to what real url must show the real url
Perfect Thank you!!
Great, would give 5 stars if I could choose the width of the tooltip.
Just recently for me, Chrome stopped showing URLs reliably. Sometimes they show up when I hover over a link, other times they do not. This has solved that problem. If there were more options to change the look (width and window color), I'd give it five stars. Since I'm stuck with a gray window that can get kind of tall with long links (and have no idea how to find the stuff that someone else has mentioned changing to customize the extension for themselves), I give it four stars.
I need to see links, this app just do it. Nice piece of work... thanks a lot...
I spend a lot of time on the web searching for many things about my job and I'm always interested by the source of hyperlinks that I find. This extension is simple but it do the job nicely and this is exactly what I want. Thank you!
I'd like to see a more transparent tooltip rather than the current heavy brown. But the tooltip is showing while hovering over even normal links, so I am uninstalling.
Edit: Thanks to Marcus Viar's tip, I also modified CSS rules to make it wider. Excellent & Fast extension, highly recommended.
Almost perfect ... let see if they get my suggestion and this will change to the top rate! Thanks! I really missed this easy and fast way to check links!
Thank you! This is something that Google should build back as a core feature. It's really bad that we have to use extensions for it...
Looks fine, new google took this away (??!!?) in an age where online security is an issue already ? Why would google even do this, should be great for this extension tho ;) Hope its not tracking every link I visit :P
You've saved my life as Chrome was no more showing URLs at the bottom ;) EDIT: it is messing with my extension Hoover Zoom somehow...
Very Good and very clean. Really like it!
Great! After the update to version 33, Chrome is no longer showing link URLs at the bottom of the window, but this app has replaced that functionality.
Works Perfect Version 33.0.1750.117 m
Works Great! Mostly, I made a few changes to my copy. I changed some of the CSS rules in jquery.qtip.min.css to make the tooltip background white (easier on the eyes). In the options I set it to display the tooltip in the top right of the page. But ran into problems with links in the top right of the page being covered by the tool tip so you can't click them. My solution was to edit script.js to turn the tooltip off when you hover over the actual tooltip, then turn back on when you move your mouse away. Overall, it's a great replacement for when Chrome's default URL in the status bar quits working.
Does what the tin says, while looking good.
Excellent app, this saved my butt after the URL hover status bar in chromium got all screwed up and refused to show up anymore thanks to an ill-advised update to the newest version which i did. Since the tooltip function can be disabled too this app will essentially replace the old hover bar in the lower left corner for me from now on.
Great, thanks.
Doesn't work. Never has.
I want to see a tool-tip not just above a links but also above any object on the page, mainly on login/submit buttons. I want to know where I am going before I am click :) Thanks.
