Snap Previews

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

I’ve finally (or so I thought) got the Snap Preview plugin to behave itself after re-registering countless times, disabling and enabling the plugin and fiddling with the settings.

I like the Snap Preview plugin – it gives you a small preview of the website behind a link, a bit like Vista does when you hover over a button on the taskbar.  It should display previews only for external links but for some reason, under Firefox and Safari it displays them for every link which is a bit of an irritation.

Anyway, if you don’t like the previews you can disable them by hovering over a link to make the preview pop up and clicking the small “disable” link in the top right hand corner of the preview.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it work just for external links under firefox, maybe that’s a new bug.

    If you want to see something similar rendered as a browser addon, try Interclue for firefox.
