MaxFocus: Link Preview extension is a Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browser extension for students, researchers, and professionals who want to evaluate links faster without opening new tabs.

Key capabilities include:

• On-page link previews in a popup or dock to a sidebar for split-screen browsing, triggered by long-click, hover, drag, or keyboard shortcuts
• Reader mode for distraction-free article reading and a video-focused preview mode that removes sidebars and page clutter
• Focus mode that dims the rest of the page to keep attention on the preview, plus customizable preview size, duration, and appearance
• Security and privacy options, including warnings for potentially risky sites and removal of URL tracking parameters

Pricing: Freemium, with a limited free plan and a PRO plan that adds AI-powered assistance (summaries, questions, prompt suggestions), unlimited link previews, scam detection, and advanced theme customization.

Notable for combining link preview workflows with privacy protections and optional AI help inside the preview, while working across many websites (including Google Search and Notion links) and major desktop browsers.
