Announcing Browser Link Previews

We’re Introducing a new feature that makes exploring the web with Browsely even smoother — Link Previews. This update transforms every link into a smart, interactive window that gives you instant context without leaving the page.

With link previews, you can:

  • See rich previews for any webpage directly in your current tab.
  • Summarize or bulletize pages instantly with AI.
  • Control how and when previews appear (hover or long-click).
  • Pin previews in place to read or interact at your own pace.

It’s all designed to make browsing more fluid, focused, and intelligent.

1. Rich, Interactive Preview Cards

Each eligible link now expands into a clean, elegant preview card. You’ll see the page’s title, host, and image (with fallbacks when needed), plus quick actions to open, pin, or close the preview. Descriptions expand smoothly when you need more detail and stay cached for instant reaccess.

These cards bring context right where you are — no extra tabs, no backtracking. Whether you’re doing research, comparing sources, or just curious about what’s behind a link, you can peek safely and stay in flow.

2. Built-in AI Co-Pilot

The new preview cards include an embedded AI assistant. Inside the card, you’ll find suggested prompts and a familiar chat box that can summarize, bulletize, or analyze the linked page in seconds.

Start typing or select a suggestion, and the preview locks open while the assistant streams its response live. It’s the same powerful streaming pipeline used in Browsely’s main sidebar — now available inline, wherever you click.

This turns any link into a launchpad for quick insights, ideal for students, researchers, or professionals scanning multiple sources.

3. Customizable Activation & Smart Pinning

You decide how previews appear: a hover gesture for quick looks, or a long-click for deliberate previews. Animated cues ensure you always know when a card is about to open.

Once open, you can pin the card to keep it visible while reading or chatting. The placement logic ensures the preview never covers key content, adapting smoothly as you scroll or move around the page.

The experience feels natural and stays out of your way — just context when you need it.

A more fluid browsing experience

This feature blends seamlessly into Browsely’s workflow. It respects your settings, ignores irrelevant links, and integrates with caching, authentication, and streaming services already powering the rest of the extension.

The result: instant insight, zero tab chaos, and a browsing experience that finally keeps up with your curiosity.
