About this extension
Linkover was created as a solution to the problem when some sites truncate long titles of the link titles, putting the obnoxious "..." at the end. In some cases it can totally prevent you from understanding the content of the page without clicking it. It could become especially painful on websites like Google Search and YouTube.

Linkover will load the link in the background, grab the full title and show it as a nice tooltip when you hover the link, while also loading thumbnails and short descriptions for many pages over the internet.

Linkover provides several options to prevent unwanted link loading, including domain blacklist, whitelist, and requirement of modifier key pressed (enabled by default). It can also load link info on long left click instead of on hover.
