Google always keeps adding new features to its Chrome browser to enhance the user experience. One such cool feature they have been working on is the Link Preview feature, which will let you see a webpage or link in a small popup window without leaving the current tab you’re on.
This feature is primarily useful for quickly checking the content of a link without needing to leave the current tab. In this guide, I will show you how to enable the Google Chrome Link Preview feature in your browser and will also show you how to use this feature.
What is Google Chrome Link Preview?
The Google Chrome Link Preview is a new feature that allows you to see a preview of a webpage’s content without having to leave your current tab. It displays the content in a small, interactive window where you can scroll and click on links, giving you a quick peek of what the link contains.
You can also open multiple preview windows from separate tabs, and they will all appear on top. You can even move the preview window around your screen.
However, one thing to note is that this feature is only available on the desktop version of Google Chrome. It doesn’t work on the Google Chrome Android or iOS apps.
How To Enable Link Preview in Google Chrome
The Link Preview feature isn’t officially released yet, but it is available as a flag in the Google Chrome experimental settings. Here’s how to enable this feature from Chrome Flags.
1. First of all, open your Google Chrome browser and in the search bar, type chrome://flags/ and press Enter.
2. In the Experiment setting search box, type “Link Preview” and press Enter. You will find the flag there.
3. Then, click the drop-down menu next to the flag, and select “Enabled”.
4. Next, relaunch your browser by clicking the blue “Relaunch” button that appears at the bottom.
That’s it. You have successfully enabled the Link Preview feature on your Chrome browser.
How to Use Link Preview in Chrome
Once you have enabled this feature on your Chrome browser, let’s understand how to use it. Here are the steps you should follow.
