What I Built
Link Peeker is an ultra-lightweight, privacy-first, and highly intelligent browser extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It empowers users to "peek" behind any hyperlink simply by hovering over it—generating a beautiful, live metadata preview card without ever fully opening the page.
But Link Peeker is more than just a quick preview tool; it is a browser security shield. Before you even step foot on a website or trigger a background download, Link Peeker acts as an interceptor. It dynamically analyzes protocols, redirects, file sizes, and executable signatures, wrapping the preview in a visual Traffic Light safety border.
Whether you are a professional researcher gathering references, a student navigating resources, or an everyday surfer dodging malicious redirects and tracking cookies, Link Peeker keeps your browser secure, clean, and blazingly fast.
