Review Summary
Instant Preview is praised for allowing users to quickly preview website content from search results without opening new tabs, which helps manage tab clutter and provides smooth, straightforward previews especially in iframe mode. However, many users report that the extension often stops working or has been broken during updates. Others find the automatic preview on hover intrusive and delay clicking, with no options to disable highlights or adjust preview settings. It lacks hotkey support and sometimes only works on specific sites like Google, limiting overall usability.
