what about clicking to exit current preview? what about add history with iframe? what abot add shortcut key to enable/disable preview? That would be super great! Thanks for your great work.

Works. Please support Web Search Navigator. Something like: if user opens page in new tab (CTRL+click link) it opens the preview instead.

New review of the new version 6.0.0 (Beta): The extension was updated and the new version works well and smoothly, as did the previous one. It’s simple, straightforward and stable. --//-- Previous review about older version: It does exactly what it proposes to do and it's been working fine since I downloaded it. However, there's one thing that was initially just a little bit annoying, but soon became really annoying: not being able to turn off the yellow highlighted text on the page. It highlights each term typed in the search bar, and if you're like me and input a lot of keywords, it easily becomes unpleasant to read. Please fix this minor detail, which I suppose is something simple, and it will deservedly earn the 5th star.

Seems to work with Google, but on DuckDuckGo it does absolutely nothing for me. I also don't see an option to set size of preview iframe and the default one won't fit everyone's preferences.
