Link previews (Peek)
Open a link in a preview over the page, then keep it in a tab, put it side by side or close it.
Peek opens a link in a preview over the page you’re on, so you can look at it without leaving. The page underneath stays where it was.
Open a preview
- Hold Alt and click a link.
- Or right-click a link and choose Preview link.
Previews get the same blocking of trackers and ads as tabs. Inside a preview, Alt+click on a link (or the key you chose) opens it in the same preview.
In the preview
A bar above the preview shows the page’s title and site, with these buttons:
- Back and Reload, for the preview itself.
- Open in tab: the preview becomes a tab next to the one you came from. The page isn’t reloaded, so you keep its history and where you scrolled.
- Open in split view: the page opens side by side with the one you came from.
- Open in new window.
- Copy link: copies the address of the page in the preview.
- Close preview.
To close the preview you can also press Esc or click outside it.
Change the key
Open Settings › Links & mouse and choose under Preview links (Peek):
- Alt + click, the default.
- Shift + click.
- Off: clicking with a key held no longer opens previews. Preview link in the right-click menu keeps working.
